Transitions

Dental Protection launches a new event for Scottish dentists

Dental Protection is pleased to announce a brand new event called Transitions which will be staged in Scotland this April.

The full-day event is scheduled for Saturday April 17 in Cumbernauld near Glasgow. The programme is suitable for dentists at all stages of their career and will provide keynote lectures on the recommended CPD topics, complaint handling and ethics.

The programme will feature three renowned speakers, Hugh Harvie, Kevin Lewis and James Foster who will explore complaints and ethical dilemmas based on actual cases drawn from Dental Protection's extensive archive.

The day will also include an interactive workshop session, which will demonstrate problems which any dentist might encounter at some time in their career, and will examine the issues which could effect the way in which the dentist handles the situation. Sessions on law and ethics and complaint handling will explore the role of communication skills in effective complaint handling.

Describing the event, Hugh Harvie, Head of Dental Services Scotland said, "DPL is pleased to launch an exciting new event for the benefit of our members in Scotland. The programme will address the recommended CPD needs of all dentists, and will serve as a useful introduction, or a reminder, to dentists regardless of what stage they may have reached in their career."

Tickets for the event cost £75 (£50 for VDPs and DPL Xtra members).and will provide 5.5 hours verifiable CPD.

Delegates are advised to register their interest in the programme early to avoid disappointment.
