Health ministers working to improve dental service on Isle of Man
Health ministers on the Isle of Man are working with dentists to try and improve dental services on the island.
Health minister David Anderson commissioned a review, which will be used to identify areas of concern and subsequently find ways to address these issues; the review was carried out by Dr Ian Petty, from the University of Manchester.
In recent years, the government has struggled to recruit new dentists and as a result, access to dental services is not a good as it should be.
The report suggests finding alternative providers of dental care to try and improve access to dental services and also puts forward the possibility of introducing specialist dental training posts n the island.

This is good news. I am a dentist from the Philippines and recently moved to Isle of Man because my husband lives and work here. I have the definite leave to remain visa and would definitely love to practise my profession. I’m wondering if there is temporary post for me whilst I’m waiting to sit for the Overseas Registration Exams in 2013. I was trained in Orthodontics and Dental Implants as well.
I’m looking for some like you to fit into our team. What stage are you at with your registration
