‘UK dentistry in the 21st century - back to the future?' By Tom Thayer, Consultant in Oral Surgery.
About the talk:

2. The family dentist - and the funding structures
3. The disease burden presently facing the profession - and why
4. The impact this has on services - and the nation as a whole
5. Solutions that may help - or not!
6. Where will dentistry be in 10 years?

Tom has had an eclectic career – family dentist and practice owner in Bradford and Skipton, Hospital surgical training, community dental service specialist, university clinical teacher, and - eventually - hospital consultant. He has been known to say that the only thing not on the CV is the armed forces – but he did learn to drive a tank when at school! His present areas of interest are education and assessment in (NHS) postgraduate dentistry, (mis)diagnosis of pain and chronic facial pain issues, and he has recently been involved in developing the latest national guidance information on managing jaw joint problem
