Staying abreast of the latest clinical practice is essential for dental professionals committed to delivering high-quality patient care. Across theatres including the Specialty Interest Theatre and the Enhanced CPD Theatre you will gain invaluable insight into cutting edge techniques and innovative practice, to refine your skills and enhance treatment outcomes. From cracked teeth to managing diseased pulp, and from occlusion to child-focused caries management, there is plenty of opportunity to update your clinical knowledge and gain valuable CPD.

In today's competitive landscape, knowing how to navigate the complexities of running a successful dental business in the UK is as crucial as clinical expertise. BDCDS will address this need by incorporating sessions focused on business acumen, marketing strategies, financial management, and patient engagement. Attend sessions in the Dental Business Theatre or Practice Owners & Business Management Theatre to equip yourself with the latest intel on gaining and retaining patients, as well as managing your team and your finances. And, if you are in the market to buy or sell a practice – make sure you have everything you need before taking the leap.

Adhering to legal and regulatory standards is paramount to ensure patient safety and professional integrity. BDCDS provides dedicated sessions on the latest compliance requirements, ethical considerations, and risk management strategies. Be part of discussions on infection control, complaints handling, and safeguarding, to ensure you can be confident that your practice is upholding the highest standards of care and is guarded against potential legal challenges.

Your role as a dental professional is hard, and it’s not always easy to carve time out to check in with your own wellbeing, or that of the team. And even when you find the time, it can be difficult to know where to start. BDCDS will provide sessions to help you navigate mental health, prevent burnout, and foster a supportive working environment for yourself and your team.
