The structure and funding of the National Health Service in the United Kingdom has undergone major changes in recent years. A survey was conducted among senior personnel working within the dental public health and the community dental services to identify their roles and responsibilities, their views on the effects of the changes, and the future opportunities and challenges. A response rate of 76 per cent was obtained using a postal questionnaire. In general the reforms were viewed as positive, although purchasers were consistently more optimistic than providers. The survey also highlighted that until the uncertainty surrounding the future direction of oral health care services has been clarified, the future role of senior personnel within the Community Dental Service and dental public health will remain unclear.
近年来，英国国民医疗服务体系的结构和资金状况发生了重大变化。我们对从事牙科公共卫生和社区牙科服务的高级人员进行了一项调查，以确定他们的角色和职责、他们对这些变化影响的看法，以及未来的机遇和挑战。通过邮寄问卷的方式，获得了76%的回复率。总体而言，尽管购买者一直比提供者更乐观，但这些改革被视为积极的。该调查还强调，在围绕口腔保健服务未来方向的不确定性得到澄清之前，社区牙科服务和牙科公共卫生领域高级人员的未来角色仍将不明朗。
