Data sources & licence
Core datasets are public sector information from the NHS England Dental Hub (DCTNRO post listing of 11 May 2026; DFT schemes listing reviewed 9 April 2026; DST specialty pages for the 2026 round), regional deanery websites, and the NIHR ACF allocations — used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Boundary data: ONS Counties & Unitary Authorities (Dec 2025), © Crown copyright.
How locations are plotted
Every post is geocoded to its base site where published: 603 at verified site level, 91 at town level, 3 still to be confirmed by the deanery. DFT scheme areas are approximate county fills; pins mark anchor towns, not practice addresses.
Updates
Data follows the annual recruitment cycle: posts appear around January, preferencing runs April–May, and this site is refreshed for each round. This edition covers the 2026 intake.
