BIRMINGHAM, UK: Registration for the upcoming congress of the British Orthodontic Society (BOS) opens Wednesday this week, the organisation told Dental Tribune UK last week at the Dentistry Show in Birmingham. To be held at the Brighton Centre from 23 to 25 September, the event boasts an impressive line-up of speakers that includes world-famous orthodontists Prof. Lysle Johnston from the US and the UK’s own Prof. Kevin O’Brien from Manchester. Both will share their views on contemporary orthodontic trends with congress attendees.
There will also be papers by a number of international experts, like Dr Adrian Becker from Israel and Prof. Hans-Peter Bantleon from Austria, as well as the best the UK has to offer in the field, including Prof. Anthony Ireland, who will be delivering the prestigious Northcroft lecture.
Also presenting in Brighton will be Hertfordshire experimental psychologist Prof. Richard Wiseman.
The congress will also see the introduction of a number of hands-on sessions called “skill studios”, with limited attendance, which are a further development of the highly successful master classes.
According to the BOS, the programme for this year’s event has been developed with the entire dental team in mind. “We will be developing the successful team lectures focusing on some non-clinical skills of benefit to the whole team,” chairperson of the BOS organising committee Richard Jones said. “This includes Dr Guido Sampermans, a highly innovative and inspirational orthodontist from Vienna who shares his vision of the patient journey and how the whole team can work together to deliver this.”
More than 1,000 attendees are expected for the congress in September. As a first, it will be held alongside the Orthodontic Technicians Association’s annual conference. Registration will open during the course of this week on the BOS website at www.bos.org.uk. More information about the extensive programme can also be found there.
