“We are being joined by Kenneth Hume (Chair of Lincolnshire Dental Committee), Dr Kieran Sharrock (Medical Director of the Lincolnshire Local Medical Committee) and Dr Tracey Latham-Green (Chief Officer, Community Pharmacist) on our Panel and they are looking forward to being able to answer all of the questions we receive. We would like to hear from the public in advance and welcome any wellbeing related questions which we will endeavour to have answered.”
