Record numbers
This year’s British Dental Conference and Exhibition attracted a record number of attendees. The event, which took place at London’s ExCeL exhibition centre April 25–27, was attended by more than 5,400 dental professionals, a nine per cent increase on the number of visitors in 2012.
Programme
The event offered delegates a packed three-day programme of international and UK guest speakers, seminars and discussion sessions. Highlights included four sessions from leading US aesthetics practitioner, Robert Lowe, presentations from Belgian adhesive expert Prof Bart Van Meerbeek, and sessions from Mark Hunter of the University of Manchester and Ian Buckle, director of Dawson Academy UK.
Delegates also enjoyed a full programme of sessions to help them run their practices, including three interactive sessions on the development of new contractual arrangements led by John Milne, chair of the BDA’s General Dental Practice Committee.
The Department of Health Minister Earl Howe used the conference to announce a new taskforce to look at how dental services and outcomes can be improved for vulnerable patients and individuals who are not accessing care.
Exhibition
Visitors also had the opportunity to view the conference’s trade exhibition, which featured all the latest innovations in dental care, a full programme of live demonstrations and, for the first time, a mini-cinema showing archive oral health education films.
