Fluoridation - The Way Forward

Free Webinar

05 February 2026

The British Fluoridation Society (BFS) recently held a live webinar to share the learnings from the recent successful expansion of water fluoridation in the North East of England, as this was the first important test of new legislation from the 2022 Health Care Act. This move transferred responsibilities to the Secretary of State, launched by the previous government, spanning the general election, and concluding with the new government's decision. 

One of the things the BFS  learned from the North East experience was that engagement of supporters was vital and this webinar is aimed at supporting people wishing to be more involved. 

Speakers include Phil Worsfold, Head of Programme for Dental Public Health at the Department for Health and Social Care.  Amanda Healy, Director of Public Health in County Durham and Chair of  the Directors of Public Health group across the North East of England. Tom Robinson, Dental Clinical Lead within the North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board.  John Morris, a former Dental Public Health Consultant and Academic at the University of Birmingham and now a part-time GDP, and Honorary Academic and  Sakina Needham, a Dental Nurse with a passion for community oral health. An extensive question and answer session followed which created a great deal of discussion. 

The BFS now invites you to view this webinar on-demand by visiting https://youtu.be/V5jF0hhisgY  

Please also share this opportunity with your colleagues who may also want to be involved in taking water fluoridation forward.
