NHS Manchester is aware that people living with HIV have different experiences of accessing and being treated by NHS dentists in Manchester.

We want everyone in Manchester to be treated fairly and equally and so we are working with George House Trust and other voluntary sector organisations to collect from people living with HIV their experiences of using NHS dental services.

All information given will be treated confidentially and will be used anonymously to make recommendations to both the commissioners (the people who buy the service) and to the dentists (who provide the service). The information in this survey is being collected by NHS Manchester using a secure and confidential survey package and administered only by the Engagement Manager, Val Bayliss-Brideaux. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact her on 0161 217 4311.

Remember, if you are having difficulty finding a NHS dentist or have a question about local health services, you can contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service on 0161 219 9451 or you can email them at pals@manchester.nhs.uk. This is a free and confidential information and advice service for NHS Manchester. PALS is open Monday to Friday from 9.00am - 5.00pm and if the line is busy, please leave a message on the 24-hour confidential answer-phone and you will be called back.
