Pleased to meet with new dental Minister @JamesFrith MP, alongside @theBDA’s @EddieCrouch and @martinwoodrow69
I’ve worked for 40 years on the frontline in NHS dentistry.
I believe it’s a service worth saving.
We’ve agreed to work together to achieve that.

A new school at @uniofeastanglia presents an important opportunity but it's important that we face the workforce realities in academia.
Dental academia needs proper investment to support the planned expansion.
Thanks for your continued support @jamesowild MP.
Luisa Wakeling retweeted
We can’t end the dental crisis without enough academics to train the dentists of the future.
Pleasure to see you @RachaelMaskell MP - thanks for continuing to speak up for the millions unable to access dental care & the dentists who against all odds continue to provide NHS care

"We have a narrow window of opportunity to get this sorted," warns @ShivPabary.
"And if we don't there won't be a service left to save."

📸 Behind the scenes…
Really important conversation this morning on @BBCBreakfast on the latest damning research from the @NuffieldTrust
All of us @TheBDA are ready to work with a new team @DHSCgovuk to fix this.
NHS dentistry needs fundamental reform & sustainable funding.
Thanks you so much for coming to the event and sharing our day! #engagement #involvement

📻 Huge thanks to @mattbaileymedia, @leighsus, @GCooper79, @CrohnsColitisUK and the rest of the @Radio_Newcastle team for raising awareness of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis during today's show on World IBD Day!
It was brilliant to hear the voices of people with lived experience breaking down barriers in talking about symptoms and tackling diagnostic delay. Well done to the whole BBC Radio Newcastle team!
