What to expect
This study day is to encourage delegates to learn more about radiation protection and the remit of an oral and maxillofacial radiologist in the coordination of patient care. An excellent opportunity for networking with dentists and dental care professionals from multiple specialties, with varying levels of experience. There will be an opportunity for DCT/StR/SAS grades to present their quality improvement projects, which is a valuable opportunity to find out about current work ongoing in the hospital sector.
