A s a committed indemnity provider with more than 117 years of experience, Dental Protection recognises the importance of effective risk man- agement in ensuring the safety of patients and the security of its members Educational programmes In the UK, DPL provides a vari- ety of educational programmes, in different parts of the country and focusing on different areas of pro- fessional practice. Premier Symposium Now in its tenth year, the Premier Symposium in association with Schülke, is a clinical programme which focuses on risk manage- ment and infection control. The event, which attracts 400 dentists each December in London, also includes a series of Awards, offer- ing prizes for risk management projects which aim to reduce po- tential harm to patients. Young Dentist Conference Now in its fifth year, the Young Dentist Conference is hosted in association with the BDA and BDJ and offers practical, non-clinical advice for dentists at the start of their career. Horizons Following on from the success of these and other events DPL lau- nched Horizons. The team-ori- ented Horizons roadshow visited venues across England during 2008 and venues in Northern Ire- land and Scotland during 2009. Further to the success of the event in Scotland, Dental Protection is pleased to announce that further Horizons roadshows will be pre- sented in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee in May 2010. It will later visit venues in England and Wales in September. The team-focused, Horizons events feature two very well- known speakers Kevin Lewis and Hugh Harvie who will present a programme of relevant and prac- tical subjects that will be useful for all members of the practice team. Entitled, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, the programme will ex- plore the management of difficult people and difficult situations that can arise throughout the practice - from chairside to reception. The evening events include 2.5 hours’ verifiable CPD for all members of the dental team who are GDC-registered. Tickets cost £60 for members and £75 for non- members. Tickets for DPL Xtra Practices and their staff are priced at just £50 per person, and accom- panying staff members can attend free of charge.
