Yup. I think we are. I was just clarifying that the ‘registration’ is not for comprehensive ongoing care like the GP contract in England and does not guarantee you will get NHS dental care…apologies for being pedantic

Allergy Dad @allergydad.bsky.social · 26/01/2025
If by register you mean take your name and details and keep records that the eh are legally required to keep for a minimum of 11 years, that is correct. However, unlike NHS England GP practices, there is no guarantee you will receive ongoing NHS funded treatment

In a practical sense, the lack of registration has meant that NHS dentistry has been failing patients since 2006. You got lucky so far, despite not being registered with ‘your’ NHS dentist

Allergy Dad @allergydad.bsky.social · 26/01/2025
Nope. Registration with NHS dentists in England stopped in 2006. Nobody is actually a registered patient of an English NHS dentist. Ability to get NHS dental care is down to a particular practices UDA (funding) availability. Once UDAs are used for that financial year, they HAVE to stop NHS care

To clarify, NHS dentistry in England is definitely not a franchise

In 25 years of practice I have not once had a written reply or phone call from a GP in response to correspondence I have sent about a mutual patient. Not once. Hospitals services mostly ok at this. And having an NHS email is not a ‘framework’ for referrals within the NHS, it’s an email, that’s all

Did you know, globally, 13% of children experience dental anxiety? We are currently running a 4-year RCT of a guided self-help CBT intervention to reduce dental anxiety in children. The trial includes 600 children in 30 primary dental care sites in the UK #academicsky #behaviourchange #dentistry

In the UK, a third of children have tooth decay - a figure that rises significantly in the most deprived areas. Can supervised toothbrushing fix the children's #dental crisis? Will the UK Soft Drinks Industry levy help? A great episode👇on an important #publichealth issue @adphuk.bsky.social

Excellent sign found in St. Mary's Church on Holy Island, where we stopped on our way home.
A handwritten sign on the stone wall of a church which reads: 

During the summer of 1993, when we were 'celebrating' the 1200th anniversary of the first Viking attack of 793, two visitors from the Church in Norway brought us these two gifts: a letter of reconciliation and a head of King Olaf, who was instrumental in bringing Christianity to Norway.

We all shook hands during a Sunday morning Eucharist here, and we gave them a gift of a copy of an illuminated letter from the Lindisfarne Gospels. So, although we had not previously realised that we were still at war with Norway. Peace was definitely declared.

Guys over 40, but especially guys over 50. Get a prostate test done. 10,000 men are dying in the UK every year from something preventable. Ask your GP for a test or buy a cheap PSA test online. Please, there is zero fucking point in dying because you can't be bothered to do a simple test.

Another #anaphylaxis death reported this week-💔 know #foodallergy fatalities low# but flip side mistake that leads to them ( it only takes 1) is so very ordinary We are all fallible its scary how little has to go wrong for a tragedy to occur #BeKindAlways kevinmd.com/2022/03/food...

Food allergies are a growing public health concern, not a joke
I have written to both Saturday Night Live and NBC Entertainment. It is my hope that the same networks that serve up food allergy jokes take the time to do segments on the real dangers and challenges ...
