Courses and Conferences
It is most important that the dental staff should have the opportunity to
keep abreast of latest developments in the profession. The following course and
conferences were attended:-
Dental Health Education Conference organised by the General Dental
Council
Orthodontic Course at Leeds organised by the British Society for the
Study of Orthodontics
Orthodontic Course at King's College Hospital
Dental Symposium at Guy's
British Dental Association Conference at Bournemouth
British Association of Dental Auxiliaries Symposium in London
Visitors
Two dental surgeons visited the Borough from overseas, one from Sudan
and the other from Thailand. Arrangements were also made for a student dental
auxiliary to visit the Borough.
My thanks are again due to the dental staff for their work during the year
and I would like to thank all those in the Borough's Health Department for
their interest and co-operation.
