In light of the 2024 European elections and the kick-start to the new EU Mandate 2024-2029, the CED prepared a Manifesto to highlight the dental profession’s key priorities and recommendations for policy-makers. We firmly believe that by working together with decision-makers, we can help strengthen and improve citizens’ oral health and therefore public health across Europe. We remain a committed and engaged partner to EU policy-makers and we wish to strongly underline the importance of collaborating with dentists for a healthy and resilient EU in this new mandate and beyond.
The Manifesto underlines three main pillars, including prioritising patient safety and oral health across Europe, ensuring that EU policy works for a balanced European dentist workforce, as well as safeguarding digital future that does not impede the profession of delivery of care.
