BCAM expands Dental Faculty
Providing dentists with greater professional representation, education and peer support
The British College of Aesthetic Medicine (BCAM) is expanding its Dental Faculty, strengthening its representation and support for dentists working across the rapidly evolving field of aesthetic medicine.
As increasing numbers of dental professionals incorporate facial aesthetics, injectables, skin rejuvenation and other aesthetic treatments into their clinical practice, BCAM is developing its Dental Faculty to provide dentists with greater professional representation, education, peer support and opportunities to contribute to the future of the specialty.
BCAM is a professional body representing doctors and dentists working in aesthetic medicine, with a community of more than 470 medical and dental professionals.
Its expanded Dental Faculty will aim to build a stronger network of dental practitioners within BCAM and encourage
greater collaboration between dentists and doctors working across the sector.
For dentists, BCAM membership provides professional recognition within aesthetic medicine alongside access to GDC CPD accredited clinical education, peer networking, practice benchmarking and resources designed to support high standards of patient care.
President of BCAM, Dr Sophie Shotter said: “We see a real opportunity for BCAM to provide better professional representation for dentists, helping to fulfill both their needs and to signpost patients towards practitioners ethically working across both specialties.”
A professional community beyond dentistry
One of the key aims of the Dental Faculty is to give dentists working in aesthetics greater opportunity to connect with colleagues across the wider aesthetic medicine community.
Members can share knowledge, clinical experience and best practice with both dentists and doctors, building professional relationships beyond the traditional dental sector and supporting a more multidisciplinary approach to aesthetic practice.
Education is also central to BCAM membership. Members have access to BCAM’s programme of scientific and clinical education, including its annual conference, webinars and educational events covering developments in treatments, techniques, products, patient safety and clinical practice, with CPD-equivalent points available.
Supporting clinical standards and benchmarking
BCAM members also have access to the BCAM Annual Clinical Review, an annual survey allowing practitioners to benchmark aspects of their own clinical practice against anonymised data from the wider membership.
Participation supports clinical governance while contributing to BCAM’s growing evidence base, which helps inform its engagement with government, regulators and other organisations involved in the future of aesthetic medicine.
