The U.K. government is urging patients to compare the market before going to the dentist with the launch of a new website that offers information on 22,000 National Health Service (NHS) dentists, according to a news article on dentistry.co.uk.
The information displayed on the site includes:
- Opening times of the dental practice
- How easy it is to get an appointment
- How highly patients would recommend the dental practice
- How well patients felt they were treated by staff
- If patients felt they were involved in decisions about their care
Patients can already rate services at hospitals and general physician practices online, and a similar service allowing parents-to-be to compare maternity services was launched earlier this month, according to the article.
