INCENTIVE Aims & Objectives Aim: To evaluate this new incentivised model of dental service delivery WP1:To explore stakeholder perspectives of the new service delivery model WP2: To assess theeffectiveness of the new service delivery model in reducing dental disease & enhancing oral health related quality of life WP3: To assess cost effectiveness of the new service delivery model in relation to oral health related quality of life

Enabling and behaviour INCENTIVE seen to influence clinician behaviour Red, amber or green and then they do get the fluoride varnish, the smoking cessation and alcohol use is being taken automatically. And then obviously depending on the age groups with the fluoride varnish, depending on the categories, while the schedule of the appointments are set then and the recalls so it s kind of, it s part of our contract. We don t do anything else David, INCENTIVE Dentist
Outcomes and predisposing... and the dentist themselves are really friendly, they're really understanding. I mean for me, I'm not as scared of the dentist as my partner, and it's made a real improvement for my partner because he's terrified of them so, and we've actually managed to get him there and he's having work done there which is an improvement Holly, INCENTIVE patient
Summary New dental procurement contract (similar to Steele Pilots) developed in Bradford & Airedale INCENTIVE evaluating this model Allows finer grain of analysis Will measure changes in oral health Stakeholder analysis is already raising important considerations for planning service
