Narrative
Wendy's research was used within a House of Commons debate about the effect of the Covid-19 on dental services.It was also cited by UK Health Security Agency's 2020 to 2021 report on English surveillance programme for antimicrobial utilisation and resistance (ESPAUR). As a result of this report's finding that dentistry was the only part of the NHS to experience an increase in antibiotic prescribing, a new focus has been placed on dental antibiotic stewardship and improvements in public service delivery.
