The white coat is a powerful symbol in medicine, but true authority isn’t about uniforms— it’s about connection. Doctors who listen, empathise, and communicate effectively foster trust and collaboration. Is it time to rethink how we define authority in healthcare? #Empathy #Leadership

Empathy isn’t about quick analogies or trying to relate—it’s about listening deeply and validating experiences. Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can say is, 'I hear you. '

Alcohol addiction is a public health crisis, not a moral failing. Many people struggle to access the care they need, from counseling to inpatient rehabilitation.

🎆 Encourage patients to reflect on their alcohol habits this New Year! Reducing consumption lowers risks of oral/systemic diseases. 🦷 Use tools like AUDIT-C or CAGE & refer to support services or GPs if needed.

🚨 England must act now on alcohol harm! 🚨
Alcohol misuse fuels disease, oral cancer, & social harm, costing the NHS billions.
We need:
1️⃣ Minimum Unit Pricing
2️⃣ Ad restrictions
3️⃣ Health warning labels
4️⃣ More funding for prevention
Health > industry profits. #PublicHealth

This #UHCDay, let’s remember: Universal Health Coverage isn’t universal without oral health. A healthy smile is the gateway to a healthy life. Together, let’s prioritize oral health in UHC. #OralHealthForAll

UHC is not just a goal—it’s a human right. Oral health must no longer be overlooked in health policies and budgets. Let’s advocate for integrated, comprehensive care. #RightToHealth #UHCDay

Did you know untreated oral diseases are the most common unmet health need globally? Integrating oral health into UHC is essential to reduce this burden. #UHCDay #HealthForAll

Oral health is a critical part of UHC. Oral diseases affect 3.5B people worldwide, yet many lack access to affordable care. UHC must include oral health to achieve true health equity. #OralHealthForAll #UHCDay

UHC is about fairness. No one should choose between paying rent or receiving healthcare. It's about health equity and building stronger, more resilient systems for everyone. #UHCDay #LeaveNoOneBehind

🌍 Universal Health Coverage (UHC) means ensuring everyone, everywhere can access the health services they need without financial hardship. It's a cornerstone of equitable healthcare and healthier societies. #HealthForAll #UHCDay
