The team are asking all dental nurses and oral health practitioners to support the Mouth Cancer Action Month. Many of you will know that Emma Riley, Lisa Andrews and Fiona Ellwood work closely with the Mouth Cancer Foundation and the Society considers this work as a key part of its SIG function.
Recetly, our president elect and East Midlands representative joined the Mouth Cancer Foundation in raisining awareness on local walks.
The Society has also supported Emma and the teams exceptional work in developing some brilliant resources for care homes and oral cancer. This year we are asking for your support in looking at what dental nurses and oral health practitioners know and if they feel they have adequate resources and access to support, to aid them in discussing oral cancer with their patients.
