DescriptionAll dentists are very welcome. We rarely get the opportunity to talk about the things that really interest us. We spend so much time worrying about our UDAs and managing our time in practice, it's easy to forget that dentistry is such a broad and fascinating subject. This evening is a fantastic opportunity for a small group of enthusiastic dentists to talk about Evidence Based Dentistry (EBD). We will be joined by Paul Harwood, Consultant in Dental Public Health. Paul will be explaining the concept of EBD, and will be leading our discussions around what makes good research and how to read a paper.
Additional information

We will be circulating a journal article in advance (we're open to suggestions), so that we can discuss its relative merits (or not) during the evening.  Please bring along your own ideas, any interesting papers you have read or ideas you may have for your own research.

Everyone is welcome, however this evening may be especially useful for anyone studying for a post graduate qualification.
