Major collaboration

Over the next three years, experts from King’s Dental Institute will deliver lectures, seminars and clinical training in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou to BYBO staff. Supplementary training will also be delivered through a number of blended learning and online Continuing Professional Development courses.

The collaboration will include BYBO clinical staff visiting King’s London campuses for a programme of lectures and clinical visits. The programme will aim to equip BYBO staff with a greater understanding of clinical protocols, patient safety and quality control and will allow the two institutions to share best practice around establishing and managing oral health speciality centres. A number of King’s dental experts will also be invited to attend the BYBO annual international academic forum in Beijing from 2016.

“King’s Dental Institute’s commitment to improving oral health knowledge and provision in practice around the world shines through in this collaboration”, said Professor Dianne Rekow, dean at King’s Dental Institute. “Not only is it a fantastic opportunity to share our world leading expertise with BYBO, but it also offers us a unique chance for us to learn from one of China’s most renowned dental providers.”
