'No business can operate like that.'
We need real reform👉38d.gs/SaveNHSDentist…
Dentists are the second highest prescribers of antimicrobials in BC Canada (grey line on these charts). Really interesting to hear David Patrick telling us about his analysis. Lucie BD Diane Ashiru, PhD

On #WorldHealthDay a reminder that ‘Teeth’ were once a leading cause of death in this country.
It's 2024 & we’re seeing deaths from dental infections.
Decades of progress are going into reverse.
Don't let Govt take the nation’s oral health back in time 38d.gs/SaveNHSDentist…
As a new charity we are so appreciative of others who generously help to promote our cause at The AMR Narrative

“We must focus on keeping these vital drugs working for all,” says Mick Armstrong
“During lockdown Govt encouraged an antibiotic free for all in dentistry.
“These drugs are no substitute for timely access to routine and urgent care.”
