For several years, I have been campaigning to get a dental school in Lincolnshire and we are making progress.
The university have made huge progress in developing a curriculum and the learning environment required
I met former Dentistry Minister Stephen Kinnock MP with fellow Lincolnshire MPs in April to make the case for necessary Government funding for the first cohort of students.
With a new Health Secretary now in post, we have sent a letter requesting to meet with her to discuss the fantastic work done by the University of Lincoln so far and to ask for her backing for their proposals.
A dental school won't just train up the next generation of dentists - it will provide more dental appointments locally as students will be able to deliver appointments under supervision too.
