with Bruce Oxley
By the time you read this, there will be less than 100 days left until the Scottish Dental Show kicks off at Hampden Park on 24 and 25 May. If you haven’t registered for your free place yet, then head on over to the new Scottish Dental Show website (
www.scottishdentalshow.
co.uk) and have a look around. We are delighted with the strength and range of speakers that we have managed to secure, covering diverse topics from anaethesia to implants and from dental practice
design to legal and ethical issues. The website has full details of the finalised speaker line up, biographies and talk titles, CPD information and a link to our online booking system. All the talks are free entry as well, so this is a great opportunity to top up your CPD. The exhibition features nearly 100 companies and provides a great chance to check out the latest developments and deals on a massive range of products, services and technology.
