Objectives and concerns

Concerns

There are number of specialist dental clinics that run services across Oxfordshire, in 2016 a new clinic was opened in Kidlington to help cope with the demand of the central clinic in East Oxford just 7.4 miles away.  However three years later there remains disparity in the referrals between the Kidlington and East Oxford clinics. The objective of the project is to undertake a piece of diagnosis work to examine why there continues to be such differences between the clinics considering their geographical closeness.
