The only photo I managed to grab from @TheBDA South Wales Conference today, right at lift off! Just got back home - think it all went really well. Grateful to all who took part and hope everyone enjoyed it!
Analysis from my team @TheBDA shows dentists and dental practices are subsidising loss-making NHS treatment to the tune of over £300m per year. This isn't sustainable. https://t.co/xjTwWu4Clt
A great opportunity for you to affect change in your area of work and network with others.
There are some amazing projects happening around Wales. Varied and inspiring!
Do you work in health and care and want to lead change and transformation through your work?
If so, apply to become a Bevan Fellow by 8 December.
See what @DrMickButton said about his experience.

@stephensackur@BBCHARDtalk What a travesty. Listened to countless interviews on @BBCHARDtalk over the years, both the Chavez and Rajapaksa one's in particular stand out. Will be hugely missed!
From our current cohort of DCTs sadly leaving us (15), 2 are moving to Australia for a 2025 start, and 1 is planning to go sometime next year (3 total). Believe 2 made the move from last year’s cohort. Feels like quite a lot - more than usual. What's everyone else's experience?
@LBC@TomSwarbrick1 What a staggeringly ignorant man who hasn't even got the balls to acknowledge he's racist. Disgusting and worrying to think how many Garys among us. Unreal.
Looks like it's actually happening!
Good luck to all those involved flying the NHS Dentistry flag, representing both us and patients.
Fundamental change is needed not short-termism or empty promises. Hopefully today is the start of something new.
@WestHam Moyes has delivered some of the best moments this club has seen in years, and likely for years to come. He truly deserves a MASSIVE and fitting send-off. Thank you, David! ⚒️
"The Monday after the General Election, if Labour is in Government, I will be meeting the British Dental Association to agree the process for contract negotiation and reform."
Thanks @wesstreeting
Without real reform we will keep seeing scenes that belong in a Dickens novel.
Would encourage you all to read this report.
People recognise the system isn't working and that access to care is often needlessly complex. The public are calling for radical change, greater engagement and better communication.

🔎Our latest report is essential reading for anyone interested in the public’s opinions on the future of health and care.

Fantastic couple of days listening to and learning from incredible speakers. Really enjoyed talking all things health with other attendees and sharing ideas.
Much to reflect on!
As we wrap up this year's Innovation Learning Week, we're filled with gratitude. It's been a week of insightful reflection and developing much needed innovations. After an enriching week of learning and sharing, we're excited to see how our attendees will champion better health and care in the years to come.
With Party Conference season kicking off interested to see how NHS Dentistry features on the agenda. No doubt a hot topic but will it be all bark and no bite? Hoping to hear a thought-out actionable plan.
