Dental Showcase gets off to a rocking start
15th Oct 2010
Visitors on the first day of the BDTA's Dental Showcase were kept busy with product offers and promotions and this year's added attraction of live theatre and presentations.
London's ExCeL exhibition hall was a hive of activity yesterday (Thursday) which included a jam-packed seminar staged by Denplan that aims to help practices through the Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration process.
Denplan's chief dental officer Roger Matthews and deputy chief dental Officer Henry Clover addressed the dental professionals in the free seminar entitled, Helping practices with the CQC.
There was also an opportunity to ask questions and get clarification on CQC issues – and there are more seminars today and then tomorrow.
They are free for principals and practice managers and offer one hour's CPD and are being held in ExCeL's Northern Gallery Room 8 but you must register in advance by contacting the Denplan Events Team on 0800 169 5697 or emailing events@denplan.co.uk.
They will be held at the following times:
• Today (Friday 15 October) 11am & 2pm
• Tomorrow (Saturday 16 October 11am).
Meanwhile, at the DPAS stand, delegates were invited to sign a petition against the new regulatory layer.
DPAS chairman, Quentin Skinner, used this year's Dental Showcase to publicise the campaign which is already gaining momentum amongst DPAS client practices, all of whom have received a questionnaire aimed at gauging the level of support in the profession.
Elsewhere, at stand J14, Software of Excellence was showing off its new interactive patient education tool that helps dental professionals communicate more effectively with patients on a range of treatment options, such as oral health, implants, periodontal disease, orthodontics and much more.
For a limited period, SoE is giving away a fantastic new Apple iPad, complete with guru iPad App, with every new Guru order.
On stand K14, delegates were invited to see the complete range of ExamVision loupes and lights including the recently launched ExamVision 5.0x high magnification loupe.
All ExamVision loupes provide unbeatable magnification with an ocular that is half the length of some other manufacturers.
Free lectures included a BACD-sponsored The future of dentistry – should you be scared? presented by James Goolnik and a complimentary seminar on Radiography and radiation protection hosted by the Health Protection Agency.
Fridays can be the busiest day at Showcase, so if you're going be sure to allow enough time around the many stands.
With exhibitors displaying the latest products, explaining about new time and cost-saving services and demonstrating the most up-to-date technologies, visitors can gain a wide range of knowledge, some of which will earn them verifiable CPD hours.
To round off the day, BDPMA members are invited to join Seema Sharma (of Slumdog Secret Millionaire fame) and members of the BDPMA team for drinks and canapés at Seema's Docklands practice.
