BDIA Dental Showcase: Calling the whole team

Plenty to see, plenty to hear

Now’s the time to freshen up your knowledge and skills with a choice of lectures as well as hands-on demonstrations. This year’s lecture programme includes topics identified by the GDC as “highly recommended to do as part of the minimum verifiable CPD requirement”. For example, Graham Ramsden, a radiation protection adviser and medical physics expert at Public Health England, will be explaining the new regulations on radiation protection. Medical emergencies will be covered by Esther Stephenson, a SHO at the oral and maxillo-facial surgery department of St. John’s Hospital, Livingston. Those requiring verifiable CPD on the early detection of oral cancer, should attend Karishma Vijan’s lecture on mastering the primary guidelines for prevention and detection.

New this year is the Future Experience, where you’ll be able to find out the scope of the latest digital technologies. You’ll be able to peak into ‘tomorrow’s world’ and review the next generation of dental equipment, including 3D printers and 4D imaging. This event is going to be very ‘hands on’ and visitors are encouraged to take part in the scan challenge to be in with a chance of winning one of two 3D printers for their practice!
