Birmingham was at the British Dental Association Conference that was held at the end of May in Manchester. The conference was held in the same week where the terrible atrocity of the Terrorist bomb at the Manchester Arena. The delegates were determined to make sure it was business as usual and were ready for the increased security. There was a minute’s silence held on the Thursday during the conference.
There were many of our ex-students there, both vocational trainees and others who had qualifies through the years. It is always fun to catch up with them and hear about their professional and personal successes. There were several talks that featured Birmingham academics including Professor Trevor Burke and Louis MacKenzie. Cristina Parenti featured in a panel discussion that was one of the highlights of the meeting. Jo Batt featured as one of the faces of dentistry, a social media campaign run by the BDA.
The conference is an excellent venue for networking and also obtaining your essential CPD. Although it was quiet, the City provided an excellent venue for the social events of the conference as well. Here are some pictures of the event.
