Network and learn

The Society of British Dental Nurses East Midlands branch is hosting its 4th Dental Symposium in the East Midlands. Louise Smith reports...

We are fortunate to be able to offer this networking opportunity where the focus is particularly on the dental nurse, but also welcomes all members of the dental team. It is a great opportunity to meet like-minded colleagues, share experience and examples of good practice and the challenges we often face. We encourage student dental nurses to come along too and gain insight to future opportunities and add to their learning experience.

When planning this year’s symposium the East Midlands – taking place Saturday 6 April at Jury In East Midlands Airport – the branch wanted to look at the here and now and respond to the requests for speakers from the delegates of the 2018 symposium. The mantra of the Society for 2019 is to inspire dental nurses, to encourage them to think outside the box, to create a vision of what their future could look like and to seek out opportunities. This really means that there needs to be some blue sky thinking if that dream job is to become real.
