BADN conference heads for Blackpool

2012 event will be held over one day in response to survey feedback

The 2012 National Dental Nursing Conference – the last before the end of the five-year CPD cycle for those dental nurses who registered before August 2008 – will be held at the Blackpool Hilton on 24 November 2012.

The new one day format is being trialled in accordance with dental nurses’ responses to the BADN’s recent survey. “Holding a one day conference allows us to keep the cost down,” said BADN President Nicola Docherty.

“This year, with generous sponsorship from the BDTA, the conference registration fee is less than £50 for BADN members, and offers 4.5 hours of verifiable CPD.

“Topics include the core subjects of decontamination, medical emergencies and radiography, as well as oral cancer, hypnodontics, communication skills, special care, the end of the CPD cycle and, of course, the keynote address by GDC chair Kevin O’Brien.”

The conference registration fee also includes lunch, refreshments and a pre-lunch Zumba session.

Also in accordance with the survey results, there will be no Presidential Dinner this year. Instead, delegates can join Nicola and other BADN Council members at an informal dinner at iconic fish and chips restaurant Harry Ramsdens, just beneath Blackpool Tower the evening before Conference.
