Xperient events make your learning interactive, intense and of immediate practical use.
Since 2008 we have run the course in the Deaneries at Cardiff, Swansea, Oxford, Rhyl, Leeds, Stafford, Lincoln, Nottingham, Kettering and Aberdeen.
Some of these were for the whole dental team as CPD and some focussed on the challenges facing Year 5 and DF1 dentists.
