BACD to celebrate female leaders in dentistry at London meeting

Since 1895, when the UK’s first woman dentist graduated from Edinburgh Dental Hospital, women in the profession have not only grown in number, but become pioneers and influencers, helping to raise standards of treatment delivery and promote a greater understanding about the value of oral health among patients. Yet with questions remaining over pay gaps, also reports of more men working in specialist areas and as practice principles, there are plenty of stories that need to be told, and narratives to change.

In March, to coincide with International Women’s Day, the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD) is holding an event, ‘Female Leaders in Dentistry’, an educational meeting to celebrate the work of women in the industry. As well as tips to elevate outcomes, you can expect the kind of uncompromising discussion and debate that the BACD is famous for.
