Dentists on a map

In the UK, it can be hard to find a dental clinic that's accepting NHS patients.

Unless you're able & willing to go with a private clinic, people can go months, or even years, without access to regular dental care.

The NHS has their own Find a Dentist service, but it's not very useful. To make its data more useful and accessible, I've built a new frontend using the NHS APIs which:

  • Shows the dental clinics on a map, to make it easier to understand where a dental clinic is and how a user might be able to travel to it
  • Adds filtering capabilities, so folks can focus in on dental clinics that fulfil their needs
