Mindset innovation

Whilst most of you will be mature enough to have missed out on the whole 'txt spk' phenomenon, it seems there is little escape from acronyms in dentistry, even for those not in the NHS. The GDC are demanding CPD from you and your DCPs, what with that and CQC (something many consider OTT) it can be tough. But it's not all bad news for GDPs as there is the fun of exhibitions, those of the BDTA, BDA, and of course, the IDS for those who don't mind leaving the UK. However the option of doing sweet FA and spending leisure time flicking between BBC and ITV on the HD TV is long gone.

So when invited to the Denplan 'MI Roadshow' in St Albans there was a part of me that drew back in horror. Was nothing safe from abbreviation? Would the next generation only be able to speak in initials? My indignation was caused primarily due to the fact I didn't know what MI actually stood for.
