Judith is known to millions for the 20 years she spent presenting BBC’s Tomorrow’s World as well as other programmes on technology, health, food and the environment. The topic for the evening was Publicising Science and Healthcare in the 21st Century and Judith drew on her wealth of experience in the media to add to the debate. She openly shared examples of times when broadcasts didn’t go according to plan, explained the need to make contact with national publications and highlighted the importance of joining together with industry peers to create a united voice on subjects affecting the industry at large.
The event also provided an opportunity for BDEF chairman, Ken Eaton, to officially launch this year’s Young Dental Writers Award and announce that the ceremony will be taking place September 14, 2011. Ken explained the initiative was growing in popularity each year and encouraged BDEF members to nominate young writers for this year’s award.
Commenting on the evening, Ken Eaton, said, ‘It was a pleasure to welcome Judith Hann to our event and take advantage of the guidance she provided on getting the most out of the world of journalism. Her practical and amusing examples were useful to us all.’
