What to expect
This inaugural joint study day, hosted by the BDA Community Dental Services (CDS) Group and the British Society for Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD) aims to explore key challenges and innovations, with a focus on practitioners working with paediatric patients within Community Dental Services (CDS).
With an emphasis on supporting neurodiverse and anxious children and young people (CYP), the programme also highlights interface care, trauma management, and evolving service models such as the Paediatric Dentistry Advice Clinic (PDAC) and Orthodontic, Paediatric Advice and Guidance Clinic (OPAG). There will be an additional focus on the CDS Getting it Right First Time Report, including Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) for non-specialist practitioners leading general anaesthetic lists.
Designed for those working in or with community dental services, the day offers valuable insights into inclusive, effective, and forward-thinking care pathways.
