Great article today by @SophieBoobis as part of our @insidehousing campaign #ResetHomelessness. Funding of homelessness doesn't have to be this way - we can take a long term and preventative view. ow.ly/pTb850UuZWM @mhclg @hmtreasury

People experiencing homelessness face extreme #OralHealth inequalities.
With the right information, homelessness services can advocate for the people they support to improve access to and inclusivity of dental services.
Check out this blog from @PathwayUK ⬇️
Inclusion Health groups often experience Oral Health inequalities, but ambitious thinking from #ICB dental service commissioners can make big differences for some of the most vulnerable people in society. See our new blog from Pathway Fellow @kaddour_sarah bit.ly/3C5PfrG
