Liaison with Hospital Ward Teams – Manchester

Good oral health links directly to nutrition, comfort and recovery. We work alongside ward nurses, doctors and therapists to ensure oral care is not overlooked during hospital admissions.

How we support ward teams

• Agree safe visit times and infection-control measures
• Provide written notes for patient records and family updates
• Develop simple daily mouth-care plans for nursing staff
• Highlight risks such as dry mouth, soreness or oral infections

Why this matters

By integrating dental care into ward routines, patients avoid delays in eating, reduce infection risks and experience a smoother recovery. Clear communication also helps families feel reassured.
