I am honored to have had the opportunity to contribute to the Conversations of Steele this year. We've had a very interesting conversation around mental health and well-being in dentistry with @JDurhamUK @Laurenharrhy85 and ChloeLennox youtube.com/watch?v=TuSblg…

Our systematic review paper is now out. System- level interventions is what we need! ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… Big thanks to our amazing team @MarthaPaisi @marieebryce @WittonRobert

Thank you SBDN for highlighting this. This is key to your EDI work.

@FIONAELLWOOD @drnish35 This is awful! So sad! Not in this day and age, not in the UK! That shows how much work is still needed towards equality and inclusivity! 💪🏳️‍🌈

I'm deeply saddened to learn a fellow dental nurse has been part of a homophobic attack. This is wrong on every level. @drnish35

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, discover FDI's 🆕podcast and its first series exploring common mental health conditions that unfortunately many #OralHealth professionals suffer from 🌏. Learn how to better manage them through key experts' tips👉 fdi.ngo/3VcwZSL

Excellent insight from @Plessas_A @Tim_Newton_Psy @RozMcmullan Reinforces the value of the Mental Health & Wellness Framework & how we can support each other. Also good to hear the malign & pernicious influence of the current UDA system being called out. open.spotify.com/episode/677ASt…

#Stress and #burnout need to be taken seriously! Dental teams are exposed to a number of stressors that can damage their health. Healthy healthcare workers translate into healthy patients.

I feel privileged to have been invited to join the FDI podcast series on mental health in dentistry 🦷 Thank you @Tim_Newton_Psy , @RozMcmullan and @fdiworlddental fdiworlddental.org/dental-check-m…

@Plessas_A @Tim_Newton_Psy Pre 2006 life was simpler; no targets, less Associate/principal complications and much more variety in the working day. Under the UDA contract we are under target pressure working to a dumbed down list of treatments. It’s no wonder we are stressed.

Getting ready for my presentation: ''Supporting of mental health of the dental workforce'' 🙏

@VickyDTH I hope so too ;0)

@Plessas_A Hope it went well ☺️

So this just happened ... so very proud to see this work on the University of Plymouth Research Festival - The Future Ready Health System @Plessas_A

@Plessas_A Now if only I had the link - sure you will do the subject proud - thank you.

So happy I had the opportunity to meet @FIONAELLWOOD in person at the BDIA. High time we put mental health wellness at the heart of dental practice! #mentalhealthwellness #mentalhealth

Really pleased we have been able to share the voices of dental nurses through this work. We should all be so grateful to our nurses for working so hard during these difficult times. … @DentalNJournal @WittonRobert @MarthaPaisi @hannahwheat @Rebecca_Baines_ @ruarikeir

@Plessas_A @MarthaPaisi @hannahwheat @WittonRobert Great to see the importance of health & well-being acknowledged within both papers and the excellent Mental Health & Well-being in Dentistry Framework being promoted. @FIONAELLWOOD @RozMcmullan @Tim_Newton_Psy @KAsimakopoulou @WittonRobert
