It was great meeting with other dentists and discussing everyday matters while learning and being motivated by the speakers.

It was a very good evening, there was a valuable and worthwhile opportunity to raise money for the BDA Benevolent Fund through the sale of knitted items.

Enjoyable night with an engaging topic relevant to clinical practice.
