British Orthodontic Society and NHS England
Orthodontic Managed Clinical Networks in England
The BOS is committed to the concept of locally sensitive planning based on true considerations of local orthodontic needs assessment. This will become increasingly important with the re-procurement of primary and secondary care Orthodontic services by the Local Area Teams of NHS England. Over the past 10 years in some areas local orthodontic providers in both primary and secondary care have been collaborating together as a local managed clinical network, working in close consultation with the LTs and LDNs in a mutually beneficial partnership, helping to co-ordinate local services and improving patient access to the most appropriate care.
