Visiting the BACD conference on Saturday was the equivalent of an alumni meeting – the usual suspects were in attendance.
Which had me thinking.
Around 24,000 dentists in the UK.
Of whom 20% take notice of what’s going on in the clinical and business world of dentistry.
Of whom 20% regularly attend conferences, trade shows, post-graduate courses and dinners.
Of whom 20% actively volunteer, not just for BACD but for dentistry.
They don’t just join, they join in.
That’s about 200 people innovating and making a positive difference.
Thank you.
