EDINBURGH, UK: A record number of surgeons and practitioners recently came together for the Annual Scientific Conference of the British Association of Oral Surgeons (BAOS). The venue at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh’s main campus was filled to capacity, as 300 attendees had travelled from as far afield as Australia to attend the three-day event.

Launched in 2001, the BAOS is an association for clinicians with a special interest in oral surgery, including dental trainees, high street practitioners, and those working in hospital or academic posts.

“Professionals working in oral and maxillofacial surgery need the opportunity to come together, share research, ideas and new techniques,” BAOS President Pippa Blacklock said.

Open to members and non-members alike, the BAOS conference offers attendees a programme of lectures, seminars by internationally prominent speakers, and research and poster presentations on oral surgery and related topics, as well as the opportunity to network. With attendance rising year on year and up by over 400 per cent since 2001, the BAOS conference has become one of the specialty’s leading annual continuing professional development events.

“This year has seen an outstanding number of high quality entries in our poster, open paper and audit competitions, making it an excitingly competitive place to present,” Blacklock continued. “Evaluation suggests this year’s conference has been the best yet. It’s a great result and one the BAOS intends to build on next year in Manchester.”

Congress attendee Karen Bennett, associate specialist oral surgeon in Southampton, commented: “Getting time away to attend conferences is never easy, so it has to be worthwhile. The topics need to resonate with the issues I’m dealing with every day. And the BAOS conference did that this year. From sessions on haematological assessment and how to manage patient anxiety to paediatric surgery and dealing with our younger, less cooperative patients. It was well worthwhile.”

The next BAOS Annual Scientific Conference will be held in Manchester from 23 to 25 September 2015.
