MANCHESTER, UK: Collaboration between clinicians, health care officials and researchers is the theme of this year’s annual conference of the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD) in Manchester, the organiser has said. At the event, a number of prominent speakers from all over the country are presenting scientific developments resulting from trials or inter-hospital collaborations they are involved in.
Treatment of children with complex needs for which collaboration is essential will be particularly in focus at the conference. The latest insights on this topic were given by, among others, Healing Foundation director and University of Manchester professor Kevin O’Brien, who started off the event with his talk “Working together to keep it simple—Complex problems in complex children.”
Innovative and creative concepts in caries prevention and management were also provided by Dr Sondos Albadri and Yang See Chau from the University of Liverpool, as well as Prof. Marie Therese Hosey from King’s College London. Drs Mechelle Collard from Cardiff and Joanna May from Manchester further provided a paediatric perspective on why collaboration is essential in the management of children with cleft disorders.
Other highlights include a session with the Chief Dental Officers for Scotland, Wales and England, Drs Margie Taylor, Colette Bridgman and Sara Hurley, who will be looking at oral health initiatives across the home nations.
The three-day conference, which is being held at the Lowry arts centre in Salford Quays in Manchester, is taking place from 19 to 22 September.
“It’s the first time in 20 years that the BSPD conference has come back to Manchester and, as an organising committee, we plan to showcase both a great city and some very exciting creative collaborations,” said BSPD President Claire Stevens. “What we hope is that all our delegates will experience the buzz of being in Manchester and hearing first-class speakers, but at the same time, leave feeling refreshed and relaxed by the well-being activities that we have lined up.”
More information about the event is available online at www.bspdconference.org. For the first time, attendees will have access to a new mobile app that provides easy-to-find information about the conference and the programme. Health and well-being activities for participants will also be offered during the three congress days.
