In November 2016, a  Dental Antimicrobial Stewardship: toolkit was released.  It was developed in response to findings in the May 2016  Antimicrobial Resistance review by the Dental Subgroup of the English Surveillance Programme for Antimicrobial Utilisation and Resistance (ESPAUR).  It complements these existing standards:   General Dental Council (GDC) standards/guidance and Care Quality Commission (CQC) Fundamental Standards.
