Speaker Nik Sethi commented:
“I think the BSDHT is an absolutely fantastic organisation that provides an incredible platform for dental hygienists and dental therapists to learn, socialise and develop excellent relationships with the trade.”
With expertise in a wide range of areas, the speakers will be covering a huge spectrum of relevant and interesting topics. Whether you are looking to develop your skills in periodontal therapy, improve your injection technique, move into the field of facial aesthetics or update your knowledge with regards to detecting oral cancer, there will be something for you. In addition, any dental hygienists or dental therapists looking for non-clinical advice and guidance will not be left disappointed. You will have a chance to discover the benefits and challenges of setting up your own practice, to enhance your communication skills, ensure CQC compliance and find new postgraduate training courses to suit you.
The trade floor will complement the education on offer with further information and live demonstrations of the very latest products, technologies and materials. A variety of manufacturers and suppliers from across the dental profession will attend, providing further insight into the innovations discussed in lectures, and launching brand new solutions.
But that won’t be all the OHC 2018 offers. It will also be the perfect place to network with like-minded professionals who share a passion for excellent patient care. Catch up with old friends and colleagues and meet new people to renew your enthusiasm and gain inspiration to be the very best you can be. You might even find a mentor or be able to help guide a colleague through the next stage in their career.
Other opportunities to build on your reputation within the profession will be available through the Annual Poster Competition, sponsored by Waterpik. Successful applicants will have their entries judged by a specialist panel and the winners celebrated for their hard work and commitment to dentistry. The Student of the Year Award will also be announced and the evening dinner and dance will be the ideal place to relax and have fun with friends.
Feedback from delegates at the 2017 event included:
“Just a fantastic event. Amazing passionate speakers. Informative, excellent trade stands, I cannot fault anything. Thoroughly enjoyed the event and learn something new every time.”
“Fantastic opportunity for networking and the programme is superb. It is ideally tailored to our needs as dental hygienists and dental therapists and the CPD is of an exceptionally high standard, with fascinating lectures. It has a fantastic buzz.”
“The OHC has always offered a positive experience, both on an educational and social basis. It’s a fabulous weekend.”
“Being a dental hygienist can sometimes be a bit isolating, but the OHC is a great place to meet people – everyone is very friendly! There is also a wide range of subjects covered for brilliant CPD.”
Both BSDHT members and non-members are more than welcome, and booking is still available online for discounted prices (tickets will be available onsite too). To make sure you don’t miss out, book your place today!
Phil Ower concludes:
“The OHC is one of the most important dates in the postgraduate calendar, concentrating as it does on high quality science and state-of-the-art thinking in oral health. It is always a great way to network and catch up with old friends so I’m looking forward to it!”
