Paracetamol is the first choice of painkiller if you're pregnant and is still considered the safest choice of pain relief during pregnancy. There is no evidence it causes autism in children. Kate Brintworth, our Chief Midwifery Officer, explains more 🎥

ADG glad to hear PM's focus on oral health when questioned in yesterday's liaison committee. ADG agrees NHS contract isn't fit for purpose, however shoring up the dental workforce is also a priority. We have a gap of 3K dentists @SKinnock @carmichaelneil_ committees.parliament.uk/com…

Interesting to hear @SKinnock's dental deserts focus - an insight raised by ADG. There are workforce issues across UK, but particulary in certain areas. Recruitment, dental schools & ORE access are key to recovery. SK said dentistry is a “team sport”. ADG ready to play our part!

Great to hear @SKinnock focus on children’s oral health at #BDIADentalShowcase. BSPD welcomes targeted supervised toothbrushing intervention. @SKinnock said: “It’s a common sense, evidence-based” plan. He also talked about the sugary drinks levy & the govt’s support for CWF.

Welcome news! GDC introducing new policy granting priority ORE booking access to dental professionals with refugee status. ADG has been campaigning for this. There are currently over 3,000 advertised vacancies for dentists in the UK @carmichaelneil_ dentistry.co.uk/2025/01/22/r…

A pay cut for dental practices is a disaster. Dentistry is in crisis with a gap in the workforce. Not time to hit dentistry hard with just a 4.64% 'uplift'. Not an actual raise. DDRB asked for 6% uplift. ADG says practice cost increases actually far higher @wesstreeting @SKinnock
