EXAMPLES OF OUR HIGH QUALITY SPEAKERS

To date we have had lecturers in core subjects such as Decontamination and Cross Infection Control, Legal and Ethical issues and Medical Emergencies.

We ran a successful two day hands on whitening seminar with Linda Greenwall which was very well attended.

In May 2011 we were very lucky to have Phil Ower the renowned Periodontist join us for a two day course on all aspects of Periodontics. He was very entertaining and extremely well received. Phil has been back to lecture three times in total. He never disappoints.

Quitline have presented a couple of evenings to help equip us with the knowledge and tools to encourage our patients to stop smoking.

We enjoyed a fascinating if not rather, gory morning listening to Professor Geoff Craig's Forensic Odontology lecture in April 2012!

The GSYHTA revisited the core topic of how to manage Medical Emergencies when Joe Omar paid us another visit in April 2012. He really brings this serious subject to life. We hope to have him back in about 2 years.

Iain Macleod from Newcastle University joined us in September 2012 to present an update on Oral Medicine. He delivered a comprehensive and well received lecture.

Iain Macleod joined us again in October 2013 to share his knowledge on Radiography. We had an excellent attendance from most of the Guernsey practices and as always he made the subject interesting and accessible.

Iain made a further trip to Guernsey to update us on IRMER radiography in 2018.
