If you plan to work or volunteer around oral health in a low resource setting, why not take a copy of the manual with you? Alternatively, if you have contact with overseas health workers or educators in local programmes, you could send them a copy.

The Teeth Relief Oral health manual gives sound advice on oral health promotion and oral urgent treatment, designed to support the training of clinical and non-clinical healthcare workers in low resource settings. It's written in Plain English and offers a practical interpretation of the World Health Organisation's Basic Package of Oral Care.

Dame Claire Bertschinger, course leader at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: 'I could have done with a copy of the Teeth Relief manual when I was working for the Red Cross in Ethiopia. The cook for the children's feeding centre died from acute septicaemia after his tooth was extracted at the local medical centre with a pair of rusty pliers.'

To order your free copy go to www.stephenhancocks.com - all you pay for is the p&p at £2.95/copy.
