Continuing Professional Development
In August 2000 I registered for the newly created General Dental Council’s CPD Continuing Education Programme. I subscribe to, and read, United States based journals such as Mosby’s Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, Dentistry Today and the CRA Newsletter. Other publications studied include the British Dental Journal, The Dentist, Dental Practice and the Journal of Aesthetic Dentistry.
I attend frequent day and evening courses to keep myself up to date with the latest techniques, favouring U.S. based speakers lecturing on restorative Dentistry and Dental Materials. Examples of courses attended are as follows:
