The results of our second in-depth survey of UK dental students have highlighted that an increased number of students are suffering financially due to the cost of living pressures after the COVID-19 pandemic.
42% of survey respondents said they cannot meet the costs of essential bills (up from 18% in 2021). The share of respondents who reported difficulties affording their rent and bills increased to around 40% which is more than twice as much as in 2021.
31% reported difficulties with affording food shopping and several students gave accounts of cutting back on food
purchases due to the increased prices.
