Celebrating women in dentistry
Dentistry in 2023 is a vibrant and increasingly diverse profession – but true equality is still far off.
Throughout March, Dentistry has been sharing different experiences and stories of women right across the profession. From the experiences of technicians in a same-sex relationship and dentists juggling work and family, to therapists who have chosen not to have children. In this webinar, Linda Greenwall hosts a panel of leading female dental professionals to discuss being a woman in dentistry. Hear from:- Manrina Rhode
- Martina Hodgson
- Uchenna Okoye
- Nishma Sharma
- Angela Auluck
- Kreena Patel
- Lauren Long.
