Dental Core Training Conference
NES Dental Core Training Virtual Conference : Presentation and Poster Event 2021
This national event will take place virtually and give all levels of Dental Core Trainee (DCT) the opportunity to communicate and showcase their achievements during their current training post. Commendations will be awarded to the top three entrants in the poster and presentation categories, judged by a panel of Dental Core Training Advisers. Those selected to give presentations will receive feedback.
Dear DCT,
We hope you are all well and managing to maximise the training and educational opportunities that present to you during what has been a challenging time for all training and healthcare delivery. The annual National Dental Core Training Conference (NDCTC21) is usually held as a live in-person event. Because of ongoing COVID - 19 restrictions, which was also the case for 2020, it will again not be possible to hold the event in this in-person format. Therefore, the conference will be held as a live virtual event which proved to be a successful alternative last year. This gives all DCTs an opportunity to showcase and share some of your achievements during your training year with your colleagues and Core Training Advisers in a presentation or poster format.
We are pleased to welcome you to this Turas page for NDCTC21, which contains conference information and entry procedure for the NES Dental Core Training Presentation and Poster event 2021, which will take place on Thursday the 24th June 2021, 2:00 - 4:00 pm.
The CTA team are very much looking forward to seeing examples of the good work that has taken place during the 2020 / 2021 training year throughout Scotland.
Best wishes,
The NES Dental Core Training Adviser Team
