Health care is the prevention treatment and management of illness and the preservation of mental health through the services offered by the medical, Nursing [1]

National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs are vocational awards in England and Wales that are achieved through assessment and training Bupa is a Healthcare organisation with bases on three continents and more than seven million customers in 192 countries The stable income that this system provides means that dentists can focus on quality of care rather than the quantity of patients they see.

A poll tax, head tax, or capitation is a Tax of a uniform fixed amount per individual (as opposed to a percentage of income
Denplan emphasises the importance of preventive dentistry, with the objective of maintaining healthy teeth and gums for life. Patients know exactly what their care will cost and the treatment it will cover, thus avoiding unexpected large bills and enabling them to plan and budget ahead for their care. [1]
