Dental professionals invited to college summer reception

31 March 2025

The College of General Dentistry has invited all dental professionals to attend its 2025 summer reception.

The summer reception, incorporating the fourth annual College Fellows’ Summer Reception, will be an opportunity to network with peers in the grand surroundings of the historic Cutlers’ Hall. All dental professionals and those with professional interests in contemporary dentistry have been invited to attend.

The College President’s Award, typically given for charitable endeavours related to dentistry, will be presented during the event, and this year’s winner of the prestigious College Medal is also expected to be announced. The event will also include the ceremonial admission of new fellows of the college, and for the first time also associate fellows.

The College Summer Reception is set to take place from 5pm to 8pm on June 13, 2025, in Sheffield, with registration open from 4.30pm.

It will be preceded from 2pm by the inaugural College of General Dentistry Lecture, to be delivered by Martin Kelleher, consultant in restorative dentistry at King’s College Dental Hospital. Intended to stimulate and provoke healthy debate, this will challenge the notion of the ‘ideal treatment plan’ and contend that subconscious bias and possible self-interests can lead some supposed experts to confuse their version of a questionable ‘gold standard’ with what is really in a patient’s overall best interests and with what the law expects. This is also open to all dental professionals to attend, and CPD certificates will be provided.

Tickets are available for the reception only, lecture only, or combined lecture and reception.
