BDIA Dental Showcase to provide platform for chief dental officer

Sara and her team will be attending all three days of BDIA Dental Showcase, taking place on October 19-21, at the NEC, Birmingham, manning a dedicated CDO zone to enable them to engage with the dental community and will be ready to tackle questions GDPs and DCPs may have regarding dental care in England, workforce development and NHS England provision of services.

In addition to the zone, the CDO will introduce three keynote sessions in the event’s flagship feature, the ‘Practice of the Future’, a purpose built dental practice on the show floor. On Thursday, October 19, Andrew Taylor, head of programme for CDO England, will be addressing the ‘Transformation of the digital landscape’ ; Saturday sees the CDO team focus on ‘Clinical leadership of NHS England commissioning’, educating delegates on engaging  with and making the most of LDNs (Local Dental Networks); and, on Thursday and Friday, Sara Hurley will be introducing a presentation to show attendees how to ‘Successfully navigate the NHS England procurement process’. The keynote sessions will be repeated as more intimate plenary sessions on the CDO zone, allowing access for as many dental professionals as possible to this critical information. The speakers will be available throughout the three days to take questions from visitors and discuss the future of dentistry.
