Hi @O2 I need to speak to someone about an open account which was closed months ago. So I can’t call from my O2 phone. The 0800 9777377 number you provide never picks up. What no. Can I call? The doom loop is horrific

Exciting update 📣 The INDICATE-2 study, funded by @Haleon_health, is trialling a new pathway to spot Type 2 diabetes early in dental practices - and has already recruited 1,775 participants, more than double the August target. Thanks to all involved! 🔗birminghambrc.nihr.ac.uk/new…
Picture of Dr Zehra Yonel with quote: I'm so pleased with the dedication of the dental practice teams supporting INDICATE-2. They've already exceeded our early recruitment milestones, and their continued enthusiasm is making a real difference. Huge thanks to all involved - and to the patients who are generously taking part.
