Each year the BDA Community Dental Services (CDS) Study Group holds a study day for community
dentists, to help you keep up with topical issues and clinical knowledge in our field.
In 2020, we are holding two study days, one on the 27 January focusing on general anaesthesia for adult special dental care patients, and one on the 28 January, focusing on GAs for paediatric dental patients.
Both events are being held in Birmingham, and each day will give you 5 ¼ hours CPD and includes refreshments and lunch – it’s a great opportunity to meet colleagues and network, so I really hope you will join us –
booking and information is available online.
Our organising committee has been working hard over the past few months to line up some high-level and engaging speakers, to keep you abreast of any new clinical developments and ensure your skills and knowledge are up to date.
Stats show us that there continues to be a staggering rise in the number of children
waiting six months for dental operations over the past three years in England – from 514 to 1498. On average, children waited 85 days for treatment last year – 15 days more than in 2013. So, we chose general anaesthesia as our theme, as we know this is a current hot topic for the CDS.
Our presenters will be helping to guide you through the challenges the guidance has on dentists’ ability to implement the guidelines, and how working with a multi-disciplinary team can present challenges to getting the right treatments for your patients, and how to overcome them.
