🗞 For those of you in south Wales I helped write a piece for the Professionals column in the Western Mail yesterday. Full piece linked to below. 🏥 We are highlighting at BMA Cymru the crisis in primary #GP care. It is a huge issue and one which concerns me greatly. Imagine your local GP practice going private, and to access an NHS practice you may have to travel several miles, like dentistry. We are looking at a two tier health service, one which will see diminishing returns for people in Wales. 💷 While GPs operate as businesses, they have to do so whilst receiving limited government funding. In Wales, this funding has decreased by over 2% in the past decade, even as costs continue to rise. Consequently, 100 GP practices have handed back their keys, they could no longer run a viable practice. https://lnkd.in/e6QeCWG9

You can help parents and carers promote good oral health at home by providing general tips and guidance. However, avoid giving individual or specific advice; they should consult healthcare professionals, such as dentists, for medical advice. Children should visit the dentist when their first tooth appears or by age one. NHS dental services are free for all children under 18. In meetings with parents and carers, you can: - Share this information - Ask if they have taken their child to the dentist - Encourage dental visits if the child has their first tooth or is over one year old To promote oral health, distribute posters and leaflets in entryways, during sessions, and in communal areas. Refer families with oral health concerns to their dentist or the NHS website for local dentists. For urgent care, advise contacting NHS 111 if their dentist lacks emergency appointments.

We’re working to ensure that policymakers don’t overlook the role that mixed practices play within the dental sector. Most UK dental practices, and the majority of our 6,700 Denplan member practices, operate under a mixed dental practice model, combining a mix of private paying patients with some NHS patients. Private and mixed dentistry plays an important role in helping ensure the good oral and general health of the entire population and supports access to NHS services. With a general election just around the corner, we’re calling on the next Government to.. 1. Provide a deadline for the consultation on further reforms to the dental contract, in line with the commitment made in the Dental Recovery Plan. 2. Acknowledge the vital role played by dental nurses and the wider dental team and provide further guidance on how training pathways can help support use of the whole dental team. 3. Provide guidance on how they will assess whether plans to improve access to dental services are reaching those who are most vulnerable in society. 4. Lead a public health campaign designed to communicate the importance of oral health in connection to overall health.
