Oral healthcare for patients who have been treated for head and neck cancer is essential to the long-term health and wellbeing of these patients. Access to routine dental care has, however, faced persistent challenges, resulting in a risk for oral health deterioration. We present the experience of West Yorkshire in developing collaborative shared care networks between a tertiary care centre and primary care dental services to safeguard oral health for this vulnerable population. The methodologies used included needs assessments, pathway analyses and practitioner confidence surveys, alongside a range of health education initiatives. We hope that sharing of these experiences will facilitate navigation of the structural and multi-organisational dimensions of healthcare planning and provision.

The aim of this study was to characterise the clinical and histologic features of calibre-persistent arteries (CPAs). A retrospective search of the archives of our diagnostic oral pathology service was performed for CPAs diagnosed between 2010 and 2025. There were 45 CPAs in 44 patients. The female-to-male ratio was 1.6:1, with a mean age of 50.8 years. The majority of CPAs occurred on the lower lip and most were described as blue or pink in colour. Lesions were usually asymptomatic; however, some patients reported fluctuations in size or drainage. A history of trauma or irritation was reported in 7/45 cases. The most common clinical impression was of a mucocele, followed by fibroma and varix. CPA was not included in the clinical differential diagnosis in any case. Bleeding complications during surgery were reported in 3/45 cases. We have presented the largest case series of histologically confirmed CPAs in the literature. It is critical for clinicians and pathologists to be aware of this entity due to its resemblance to more commonly encountered reactive oral lesions and the risk of profuse bleeding during surgical intervention. Clinicians should be prepared to manage such bleeding complications when excising a lesion from the lip.
