@thebda board member, and past Chair of General Dental Practice Committee representing & promoting the interests of 40,000 UK dentists in general practice.
Joined July 2011
The rebuild has yet to begin, but past promises on NHS dentistry are nowhere to be seen in this ‘Plan for Change.' This crisis requires an action plan and a clear timetable. Warm words won’t get millions the care they need. @TheBDA

Sad to end my term, but proud of what we’ve achieved. We put the crisis facing NHS dentistry at the top of the agenda. We have a clear plan to fix it. We just need to see the political will, and a change in tone from @hmtreasury Profession is in good hands with @ShivPabary
A singular honour to pick up the baton from @ShawnCharlwood, at a make or break moment for NHS dentistry. My first priority is to reach out to dentists. The system we work to is broken. We want negotiations to start immediately & urgently need your feedback from the frontline.

Many thanks @englandsteeth, I hope I can still offer a voice of reason as a newly elected member of @thebda board.
🦷 To @ShawnCharlwood Shawn, on your last day as the BDA GDPC Chair, we wish to express to you our thanks for being the ever-present voice of reason, energetically championing NHS dentistry for your members and for the public good. You have stood solidly by us and our cause, and for that we are hugely grateful. Thank you for your dedication and service. Best of luck for the future. Mark Jones Toothless in England

An important message to Government on my final day as Chair of @thebda’s GDPC.
“@WesStreeting says he wants to take the NHS ‘back to basics’,” says @ShawnCharlwood “Ending scenes that belong outside bakeries in the Soviet bloc would be a good start.” “Making promises won’t restore access to millions.” “Only action will.” 👇

Dental Foundation Training practices shape tomorrow's NHS dentists. The freeze in support costs has been an act of self-harm. If we're ever going to restore the pipeline of talent into this service, the increase we've secured must be a first step. @TheBDA
