Last chance this week to grab your early bird ticket. £30 is a bargain and these local in-person events are so important @BSDHTUK @BSDHTSWSW #DentalHygiene #DentalTherapy #DHT #Wales #Bristol #CPD

For those attending #IADR2025 this week please join us for an exciting afternoon of science and debate at this symposium.
At IADR 2019 in Vancouver we hosted our first symposium looking at the 'emerging evidence'. 6 years on we revisit the evidence base - what has changed!?

It’s vital that everyone in Wales has their say about the changes to the GDS contract.
It’s YOUR service, fight for it…we are
These proposals will see a completely new way of working and the unintended consequences could see access fall off a cliff.
GDPs become GDPs because they like the idea of the long term dental team/patient relationship. We want to see your children grow up and bring their children to see us.
We see more of some of our patients than we do some members of our own families! It really isn’t that we don’t care or we are just “chasing money”
We are the ones who will have to look our long term patients (the one who we have looked after and supported regularly to get them into a relatively healthy position) in the eye and say “I’m sorry, you’re stable today, you can’t come here as a NHS patient anymore”

A leap in the dark could spell the end not just to continuity of care but NHS dentistry in Wales altogether.

ALT As healthcare professionals whose work centres on the health, dignity, and wellbeing of children and families—we have a professional and ethical duty to speak out in the face of the mass suffering we are witnessing in Gaza. This is not a political issue. It is a humanitarian one. The British Society of Paediatric Dentistry issued a statement last week and if you would like to see other dental institutions- such as the Dental Faculties and the College of General Dentistry- show similar leadership, please sign this petition calling on them to follow BSPD's example: • https://sprw.io/stt-cYr9f 👉🏽 If you’re a dentist, dental nurse, therapist, hygienist or any part of the dental team — please sign it now. Let's stand together for humanity, compassion, and professional responsibility. Please share with all your dental colleagues Also follow @dentists_4_palestine on instagram to keep up to date with our actions.
Off to Cyprus. Anyone need a lift?

Delighted to have contributed with amazing authors to this peer-reviewed paper highlighting deep methodological flaws in the Cass report
Far too often this is upheld as a perfect example of evidence based medicine, when in truth there are clear and worrying inconsistencies
