How we work with national partners: primary care dental services

CQC is part of the Regulation of Dental Services Programme Board.

This enables us to share information about the services you provide, and people’s experiences of them, with other regulators and oversight bodies.

Working in partnership helps us to be more efficient by reducing duplication and making the best use of shared information and resources.

Our inspection teams have an ongoing relationship with organisations including:

• NHS England Area Teams (the commissioners for NHS dental services)
• NHS Business Services Authority
• NHS England
• Healthwatch England
• General Dental Council
