Reena Wadia will be offering top tips in the lecture, How to survive as a young dentist

She said: ‘Young dentists are qualifying at a challenging time. There is uncertainty in the job market, less clinical experience in a more litigious environment and reduced NHS funding.

‘My presentation will discuss the ways of successfully navigating through the first few years following graduation. Potential career pathways will also be discussed and in particular, the why, when and how of specialty training will be explored.’

Simon Stone will be discussing best practice with referrals in, Are you referring to me? Endodontics.

Julie Cross will be offering similar guidance in, Are you referring to me? Oral surgery and James Foster asks, Do you see what I see? A lecture on dento-legal advise.
