Hillside Dental patients urged not to de-register after provider hands back NHS contract

Manx Care working to ensure continuation of services

Patients at Hillside Dental are being urged to stay with the practice, as arrangements for the future of the NHS service are explored.

Last week the provider, Regent Dental Care, handed back the contract for the site.

It's continuing to manage the practice until the end of November, whilst Manx Care find an alternative provider.

The health body says patients don't need to do anything, it's working to ensure minimal disruption and that their dental provision continues.

It's warned if you de-register and join the waiting list, you will join on from the date you request it, and it is very likely you could be waiting a long time before you are offered an allocation.

Anyone with concerns is asked to contact the Manx Care Advice and Liaison Service Team via email mcals@gov.im or on the phone 642642.
