Editor’s desk Thank you!


with Bruce Oxley


With more than 1,200 people in attendance, the first ever Scottish Dental Show proved to be a roaring success. I’d just like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all the delegates, exhibitors and speakers who came along to Hampden Park on an unseasonably hot two days at the end of May.


Without the support of the profession and the dental trade, events like this simply wouldn’t happen, so again, thank you.


We have been getting a great deal of informal and anecdotal feedback so far and, alongside a more in- depth email questionnnaire that will be sent out shortly, we will use this to make sure that next year’s event is even better.


Planning for the 2013 Scottish Dental Show is already well under way, and we will announce details of the date, venue and speaker line up in the coming weeks and months.


If you turn to pages 6-10 you will see a review and some of the highlights of the two-day event, including some great pictures from our photographer Mike Wilkinson.


I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and talking with dental professionals and exhibitors alike over the course of the show and I hope you all found the show to be a useful addition to the dental calendar. One of my personal highlights of the show was the reaction of our Scottish Dental Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Professor William Saunders. He genuinely didn’t think he was going to win, so the look on his face as he came up to the podium was priceless. I’m sure you will all agree that he is a very worthy winner and a thoroughly nice guy to boot. Although, I’ll repeat my ascertion that all of our nominees would have been


great winners, it is just a shame that only one person could win.


Another special moment was Septodont arranging for their speaker John Meechan to have a kickabout on the Hampden Park pitch. Well, when I say on the pitch, it was an astroturf patch next to the pitch, but John was like a little kid as he posed for some photgraphs next to the hallowed turf!


Elsewhere in this issue we have an interview with Tayside orthodontic consultant Grant McIntyre, Ashley Latter talks us through what he told delegates at the Scottish Dental Show and the latest Scottish Dental Round Table event, in association with SUSANdental.com, tackles quality management and the business of dentistry.
