A message from out-going Conference Chair, Leah Farrell
I am very pleased that the Agenda Committee and I were able to deliver the
LDC Conference this year despite being in the middle of a pandemic. We had to
act fast and invent a way of producing it online.
I am extremely grateful to all the
invited speakers who rallied round and made such great contributions. The
proposers of motions got on board with the new format enthusiastically and this
really made the day.
Despite some technical challenges we were able to
deliver a full agenda and debate 32 motions.
Thank you to everybody who
attended for embracing the virtual challenge.
Copies of presentations are
available to access here and details of motions passed can be found
here, along
with
election results.
Conference footage is now available
here
Congratulations to the following
colleagues who were elected to positions:
- Dan Cook (Chair-elect)
- Peter Hodgkinson (Honorary Treasurer)
- Jonathan Randall and Alexander Bruce
Porteous (Honorary Auditors)
- Roger Levy (Conference Representative to the
GDPC)
- Zoe Connelly (Member to Conference Agenda Committee)
- Mark
Haigh (Member to British Dental Guild Board of Managers)
I am pleased to
hand the chain of office to Stuart Allan and I know you are in good hands.
Best wishes,

A
message from the incoming Conference Chair, Stuart Allan Thank you Leah
for delivering a conference against ridiculous odds, the online version was
different and certainly gives us a steer for the future.
I look forward
to some precedented times having had to live through months of unprecedented
ones! We will have a conference next year, the precise nature of which will
depend on circumstances, watch this space.
Though none of us would have
wished the crisis resulting from the Covid pandemic on the world in general, or
our profession, it does mean that the widely derided UDA system has been
removed; our challenge this year is to ensure it is replaced by something
better. We need to swing behind the negotiating team at the GDPC now more than
ever.
Farewell Vijay Sudra and thank you for all your input on the Agenda
Committee over the past three years. Welcome Zoe Connelly and congratulations
Dan Cook on assuming the Chair-elect role.
See you at LDC Officials’ day!
Save the date - Friday 27 November 2020 (ONLINE).
