NHS Wales Reforms 2026

Written by David Wood | Nov 12, 2025 3:50:42 PM

The upcoming NHS Wales dental reforms are significant, and practices across Wales are asking the same question: “Will our software be ready?” 

NHS Wales Reforms: Important update

Henry Schein One currently supports two dental practice management systems in Wales and the UK, EXACT – our legacy, on premise solution (server based), and Dentally, our next-generation cloud software.  

With the scale of the NHS Wales Reforms and the timeframe to implement them, it is only feasible to implement these changes into one system; we believe in the future of cloud technology, and so we’ve made the decision to implement these reforms exclusively in Dentally.  

No Hidden Costs 

We understand that switching software can feel like a big investment, and we want to make this transition as accessible as possible: there are no thousands-of-pounds fees to move to Dentally.  

To support practices affected by the NHS Wales reforms, we’re offering Dentally with zero upfront charges for those who sign up before 31st December 2025 (terms apply). This means you can secure a future-proof, cloud-based PMS without the financial barrier that often comes with major software changes. 

This is more than just a cost-saving offer - it’s a chance to modernise your practice, stay compliant with NHS requirements, and do so without the financial strain. Switching software is a big decision, but with Dentally, it doesn’t have to mean a big bill. 

Ready? So Are We. 

Our team is ready to help your practice make the switch with confidence. Acting now means: 

  • Staying in control: Make changes on your timeline, not during the year-end rush.  
  • Peace of mind before April: Systems in place, teams prepared, and no surprises when the reforms arrive. 
  • A smooth transition: Our dedicated onboarding team will guide you every step of the way. 

We’ve already helped thousands of practices make the move to Dentally, and we’re committed to making that process a straightforward and stress-free one, should you decide to make the move to cloud.
