OpenWide fixes that. We are the only platform in the UK showing live availability for real, bookable slots across over 1,500 clinics, with direct booking so patients can secure an appointment in seconds.

The BBC's latest investigation into NHS dentistry paints a stark picture of a system in collapse: nine in ten practices not accepting new adult patients, year-long waits, and people resorting to DIY dentistry. OpenWide has real-time visibility into appointment availability across the UK, and our platform data from Monday 24 August both confirms and contextualises what the BBC found.
OpenWide has been recognised as the Most Investable Innovation on the Health Innovation Wessex SHIFT accelerator, backed by the Office for Life Sciences.
