Like you we are firmly committed to team learning and we are delighted to offer you a Dental Team Discovery Day conference.
The conference theme is particularly relevant to all dental teams at the moment, as in every practice and clinic, newly registered dental nurses and technicians are developing their roles and identities. Many practices include hygienists and now new hygienist therapists and we have recognized their need for relevant continuous professional development too.
Dental receptionists and practice managers are key members of practice teams with unique responsibilities and we think they too will appreciate the opportunity to learn with the rest of the team.
We cordially invite you to join us at the Dental Team Discovery Day and look forward to meeting you on Friday 18th September 2009. We hope this conference will allow your practice team to learn together, discover better ways of working together and providing better care for your patients.
