RQIA is aware of planned events in Northern Ireland offering Dental consultations by unregistered services to provide dental treatment abroad. It's UNLAWFUL to provide dental consultations/assessments in NI unless registered with RQIA & @GDC_UK. @healthdpt @CarolineLappin @TheBDA
Turquoise poster with picture of person providing dental treatment, and another of a patient receiving treatment, titled "Assuring the safety of Dental Services in Northern Ireland", which states: RQIA is aware that events are taking place in Northern Ireland where “Dental consultations” are being offered by unregistered services, with the aim of dental treatment being provided abroad." RQIA logo and contact details at bottom. To ensure patient safety, in Northern Ireland all private dental services MUST be registered with RQIA - only these services are inspected for compliance with standards by RQIA. To operate within the law all practicing dentists MUST also be registered with the General Dental Council (GDC). It is UNLAWFUL to provide dental consultations or other dental advice/assistance unless the provider is appropriately registered with RQIA and the GDC. Useful guidance: Going abroad for your dental care: What you need to know before you go

In the UK, the government is planning to remove a 72 hour time limit on the detention of pregnant women. The removal of this small but vital protection would be truly shocking, say Kirsty Kitchen and Gemma Lousley @Brthcompanions @4refugeewomen bmj.com/content/381/bmj.p113…

Large scale change is made up of many small scale changes. We never know if a change is going to work, so we have to try it out & amend it multiple times before it works. Small scale experimentation & learning is often the most powerful form of improvement. Graphic: @grantdraws
