Dental Tribune United Kingdom Edition

January 24-30, 201130 Events United Kingdom Edition A OG and Smile-On, in con- junction with the Dental Directory and the Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK), will again be hosting the 2011 Clinical Innovations Conference (CIC). Now in its seventh year, the CIC promises to be bigger and better than ever, with a wealth of top speakers, including the AOG’s President, Pomi Datta, who said: “Last year’s conference and the dinner brought together innova- tors and thinkers of this millenni- um. We are going to build on that with our partners and friends. We want to make this the most excit- ing annual event in Europe.” Taking place on the 6th and 7th of May 2011 in the iconic and impressive setting of the Royal College of Physicians, which is situated in the heart of Lon- don, the CIC promises to offer all members of the dental team some unmissable learning oppor- tunities and the chance to gain up to 14 hours of verifiable CPD. With innovation once again the main theme, dental profes- sionals can expect to learn more about the latest developments within the field of endodontics from the likes of Julian Web- ber, occlusion from Raj Rayan OBE and an opportunity to dis- cover the benefits of practising minimally invasive orthodontics with speakers Tif Qureshi and James Russell. Other confirmed speakers include: the internationally ac- claimed Nasser Barghi, Joe Omar, Peet van der Vyver, Eddie Lynch, Bob McLelland and Wyman Chan, amongst many others. On Friday the 6th, attendees will also have the opportunity of attending the Conference Char- ity Ball, which will be held at the fashionable Millennium Mayfair Hotel. Last year’s proceeds went to the AOG-sponsored project in Chitrakoot to repair cleft lips and palates and provide dental treat- ment for 500 villages in one of the most rural parts of India. Secretary of the AOG, Dr Nishan Dixit, is thrilled to once again be involved with this dy- namic gathering: “As one of the UK’s fastest-growing den- tal organisations, we are a body that not only values profes- sional standards but also under- stands the need for innovation within dentistry, as well as the vital role that continuing edu- cation plays within the profes- sion. We also hope that CIC delegates will join us in striv- ing towards ‘the greater good’, our organisation’s motto, at the Conference Charity Ball, which promises to be a really fun and glamorous occasion, all in aid of a good cause.” Given the record attendance rates at the 2010 event, delegates are advised to book early to avoid disappointment.
