What a show!
2019’s Scottish Dental Show: have you signed up for the industry event of the year?
Once again, record numbers of delegates are heading for Braehead Arena on 26-27 April 2019 for the eighth Scottish Dental Show. Well over 2,000 dental professionals will come through the doors, up 10 per cent on last year, attesting to the show’s growing popularity and cementing its importance.
It’s not just the delegate numbers that have grown – the Show’s educational programme, which provides dental professionals with valuable learning opportunities through the wide range of lectures, talks and workshops.
This year 36 lectures and 27 workshops will provide delegates with the opportunity to gain up to nine hours of Enhanced Continued Professional Development over the two days. We are delighted to have some of the leading lights of the profession share their expertise. Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons Roger Currie and Stuart Clark will talk about the early detection of oral cancer and medical emergencies in dental practice respectively.
Dr Christine Park, Senior Clinical University Lecturer and Honorary Consultant in Paediatric Dentistry at the Glasgow Dental School, will talk about child protection, and we are also delighted to welcome Professor William Saunders, Emeritus Professor Endontology at the University of Dundee, to speak on root canal obturation. Captain Karl Ley, a bomb disposal expert from the British Army, will speak about stress and burnout in high-pressure roles.
Delegates will also have the opportunity to learn about the latest technology, developments and services from some of the biggest names in the industry as we have 140 organisations exhibiting in the main hall this year.
And then there is the annual 2019 Scottish Dental Awards Ceremony and Dinner, celebrating the best of dental practice and patient care. The awards, hosted by comedian Fred MacAulay, are held at the Glasgow Hilton Hotel on Friday April 26 and recognise individuals and teams who place patients at the heart of everything they do and inspire, innovate and lead to deliver excellent patient care, improving oral health in Scotland.
This year the number of categories has risen to 14 to recognise wider best practice within the profession. In addition to the coveted Scottish Dental Lifetime Achievement Award and Clinician of the Year award, there are Leadership and Trainer of the Year award, Referral Practice of the Year and Practice of the Year.
It’s a must-attend event, so if you haven’t registered yet for the Scottish Dental Show or the Scottish Dental Awards, go to www.sdshow.co.uk
We look forward to seeing you there.
