IN-PERSON EVENT, hosted by the Exeter and District Section

What to expect

The dental sector has clearly changed over the past few years and patients demands have shifted in reaction to this as well. Are we as a profession shifting at the same rate or are we falling behind?

The need for private practice skills and excellence has never been greater and is rising exponentially and those that are proactive, keen to learn and willing to take the early steps for their career will not only excel but will also thrive with their future both clinically and ethically.

Look to get that work life balance with quality patients coming to see you and doing the dentistry you've always dreamed of doing but learning to do it properly, under mentorship and learning what skills you actually need in private practice.
