Following on from our previous very successful NHS Dentistry Courses that were presented by Raj Rattan, we have now teamed up with other top UK dentists to deliver additional courses on different subjects. Our courses are delivered by highly qualified dentists, in a Dentistry Magazine poll to find out the top 50 dentists in the UK, our speakers were ranked in the top 10. Each course will be awarded with a minimum of 6 verifiable CPD hours and some core CPD subjects will be covered (as per General Dental Council guidelines).
We aim to keep participation fees low, while at the same time organizing the lectures in popular and easy to reach venues in London. The next three events will take place at the Novotel West London Hotel, which is located just 3 minutes walk from three of London’s main tube lines, a large number of bus routes and is just off the A4. The fee is only £125 (incl.of VAT and lunch) per course if booked and paid for before 14 September, otherwise the fee will be £150.
Below you will find a short description of each course and the speaker or speakers running it. For more details and to register, please click on the appropriate button at the top of the page or on a specific date in the course’s description.
