At the closing ceremony, sponsored by Phillips Sonicare, the new president will introduce new members and first-time delegates, present fellowships and congratulate members on their achievements.

The annual general meetings of the British Association of Dental Nurses and the BADN national education group will also be held.
The conference registration fee of £120 for BADN members or £195 for non-members also includes breakfast canapés, lunch and refreshments on both days, as well as the black-tie presidential dinner.
BADN has also negotiated a special bed-and-breakfast rate for delegates at the Cheltenham Chase (www.qhotels.co.uk/hotels/the-cheltenham-chase.aspx) for the nights of 22, 23 and 24 October 2009. To reserve rooms, please contact the hotel direct quoting ‘BADN'.
Last year's conference was such a success we had to turn people away as we just didn't have room, so early booking is essential.
And for those arriving the day before conference, we have arranged special discounts in the hotel's spa with an express facial at £15, bronze manicure/pedicure at £15 each and an express back, neck and shoulder massage at just £20.
