We are pleased to announce that Professor Jonathan Grant of Kings College London will be delivering the keynote session.

The presentation entitled “Assessing the impact of biomedical and health research” will look at why it is important to be able to assess the impact of biomedical and health research, and different approaches for doing so. It will examine case studies from the UK Research Excellence Framework, including a sub analysis of those relating to dentistry, as well as reviewing other quantitative approaches. In conclusion, it will be argued that while research funding is effective in improving health, that same is not true for its efficiency in light of concerns about research waste.

Wrigley Oral Healthcare Programme

It’s our mission to help patients to improve their oral healthcare routine between brushing, through one extra simple and enjoyable step: by chewing sugarfree gum after eating and drinking. Independent clinical research proves that chewing sugarfree gum for 20 minutes after eating or drinking helps neutralise the plaque acid attacks that can cause tooth decay.

That's the message we're passionate about. And we’re working hand in hand with dental professionals to help spread the word.
