How do I gain eCPD?
All British Dental Conference and Dentistry Show delegates are scanned into theatre sessions so eCPD learning can be recorded and added to delegate certificates.
Certificates will be emailed to delegates approximately 8 weeks after the show. Make sure you get scanned into every theatre session you attend to ensure all your eCPD is recorded. You will need to remain in the theatre for the duration of the session to gain the full amount of time - if you leave a session early, you will only gain the amount of time that you attended the session for. If you arrive more than 15 minutes after a session has started, you may not be awarded CPD for that session, so please do arrive in plenty of time for your chosen sessions.
Are students allowed access?
Undergraduate Dental Students are welcome to attend the show.
Can I bring my children?
The British Dental Conference & Dentistry Show is a trade event and not a recommended environment for children, there is no childcare provision at the show so please plan in advance.
