Welcome to Integris Healthcare Partners
NHS Dental Care in Prisons
Delivered With Dignity
We provide clinically excellent, trauma-informed dental services inside UK prisons and secure settings — under NHS contract, fully compliant, and built around patient care.
Brief Overview
Verified By NHS England & Trusted Authorities
At Integris Healthcare Partners, we believe that access to quality dental care is a right — not a privilege. We hold NHS dental contracts and operate under Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards across prison estates throughout England. Our services are commissioned directly by NHS England, and every clinical decision we make is governed by the same standards that apply across the wider NHS.
We do not cut corners in secure settings. We raise the standard of care within them.
About us
Committed to Care — Inside Secure Walls
Integris Healthcare Partners is a specialist provider of NHS dental services in prisons across the UK. We were founded with one mission: to deliver consistent, clinically robust dental care to some of the most underserved populations in the country.
Working inside secure settings requires more than clinical skill. It demands patience, sensitivity, and an understanding of the unique challenges patients face. Our teams are trained in trauma-informed care — meaning every appointment is handled with compassion, not just competence.
- Integrity — We do what is right, even where oversight is limited.
- Compassion — Every patient deserves to be treated with dignity, regardless of circumstance.
- Excellence — NHS-standard care, delivered consistently across every prison we serve.
Why Prison Dental Care Matters — And Who Steps Up
Oral health in the prison population is significantly worse than in the general public. Many prisoners arrive with years of untreated decay, active infections, and deep-rooted dental anxiety. Without proper care inside, these issues lead to emergency hospital transfers, increased healthcare costs, and worsening outcomes after release.
Integris Healthcare Partners was built to fill that gap. We work closely with prison healthcare teams, commissioners, and NHS England to ensure dental care inside secure settings is not an afterthought — it is a structured, measurable, and continuously improving service.
When patients leave custody in better health, the wider healthcare system benefits. That is the case for investing in prison dental care — and the reason we exist.

Our Approach
How We Deliver Excellence — Consistently, Across Every Setting
Clinical Governance
Every service we deliver operates under NHS England's clinical governance framework. We conduct regular audits, maintain clear escalation pathways, and report transparently to commissioners. Our performance data is available — we have nothing to hide.
Trauma-Informed Care
Most patients in secure settings have a history that makes dental treatment feel threatening. We train every member of our clinical team to recognise that, and to adjust their approach accordingly. Patients are not just treated — they are heard.
Collaboration at the Core
Prison dental care does not exist in isolation. We work directly with prison healthcare leads, NHS commissioners, and community providers to ensure that care continues when someone is released. Continuity is not optional — it is how outcomes improve.
