​NIHR (National Institute for Health Research) Doctoral Research Fellow and Honorary Specialty Registrar Helen Rogers has won BSPD’s Outstanding Innovation Award (OIA) for her work in establishing the trainee-led research group CONNECT.

The group has existed for only 18 months but has already made a valuable contribution to the Specialty of Paediatric Dentistry through initiating multi-centre research studies and providing formal research training events.

CONNECT, the Child Oral health NortherN rEsearch CollaboraTive, is a membership organisation for trainees who have an interest in child oral health research. The group has representation in Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and Sheffield and is now reaching out to the rest of the UK.

BSPD President, Liz Roebuck, commented: “CONNECT trainees have invigorated and strengthened research among trainees into issues relating to children’s oral health. This will undoubtedly benefit our patients in the long term. Helen is to be congratulated on her leadership.”
