Make every contact count BDIA Dental Showcase 2024, 22-23 March

Miranda Steeples, President of the British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy (BSDHT), will be speaking in the Oral Health Theatre on Friday 22nd March at BDIA Dental Showcase 2024. Offering a taster of what she hopes to cover, Miranda says:

“My presentation is about MECC, ‘Making Every Contact Count’. This is a Public Health England initiative and the core messages are to encourage patients to stop smoking, reduce alcohol intake, improve their diet, increase their exercise, and try to lose weight.

“I will discuss how to weave this into a typical appointment, largely from my personal perspective as a dental hygienist, but it is easily transferable to a general oral health review, or an oral hygiene session with a dental nurse.

“I’ve always really enjoyed BDIA Dental Showcase and found it to be very worthwhile. As one of the first shows in the year, it’s a great opportunity to get some CPD and to visit the trade stands to see what the new year launches have been.”

Plus, don’t miss the BSDHT team in the exhibition who will be discussing the upcoming Oral Health Conference 2024, their Coaching and Mentoring programme, Regional Group Spring Study Days and more!
