Thank you to all my friends and colleagues on the board, you never cease to amaze me with the hard work and dedication that goes into all things BACD while I strive to just keep up with you. Happy birthday BACD!

This year’s conference promises to be one of the highlights of the dental industry calendar, every session and talk is designed to inspire and motivate growth to all our Academy members.

 

As Membership Director, I feel very proud of what we have achieved for our members, I want to make sure that all our members feel heard, and we give you the best that your membership can get.

 

Please feel free to come and chat with me, we are always happy to hear what our members have to say!

I am delighted to welcome you to our 20th annual conference, it’s incredible to think how the academy has grown and changed in that time. I attended my first BACD conference in 2007 and I can honestly say that the people I have met and what I have learnt shaped my career and the practice that I built. I am honoured that I will be taking over the Presidency in 2025 and hope to continue to grow and support the academy.

 

We have an amazing line up of speakers this year and next, as well as some superb events planned throughout the year. Please come and say hello to me, I really want to understand what you want as members so that I can deliver that for you during my Presidency.

Welcome to the BACD conference 2004. It’s our 20th anniversary and I’m proud to say I’ve been a member for 18 of those years!

 

As I look back over my career so far I can honestly say my entire professional trajectory has been greatly impacted by being part of the BACD. The combination of excellent educational events with exceptional global educators and clinicians combined with the professional networking and support from colleagues has been invaluable.

 

The opportunity to be involved with the Academy at Board level this year has been a real privilege and I’m excited to see what our 20th Conference will bring. Our busy programme of educational and social events in 2025 also promises to create many more learning and networking opportunities for our community.

There is something special about the BACD annual conference, and it has been a pleasure to be on the “other side” of the planning this year, giving back to an organisation that has had such a positive influence on my career. It is difficult to imagine where I would be without the BACD – the high level of education, the mentors and the friendships have all been a blessing and continuously inspire me to push my own boundaries of what is possible. I am honoured to represent you all on the board to further grow the academy. I hope you enjoy the 2024 conference and help us celebrate the last 20 years as it deserves to be celebrated. Please come and say hi, I am always open to hearing your ideas of how to make the academy even stronger for next year.

I can’t believe it’s been more than 12 years since I joined the BACD as a student member. The BACD have played a pivotal role in my career and progression as a dentist. I continue to be inspired by the members and the BACD board, and I look forward to attend the annual conference every year to catch up with colleagues, members and be inspired by the world class speakers. It is a privilege to be a part of this wonderful academy as well as supporting to steer the growth of the academy. I hope to spark excitement, connection and a continued sense of community during my time on the Board. Please come and say hi and express your ideas on how to continue to drive the academy forwards.

This year’s conference marks a major milestone in the history of the BACD. The Academy has been at the forefront of dental excellence for 2 decades and this year’s conference again brings dental leaders from all around the globe. We also welcome all our presidents to the stage showing what talent and leadership in the field exists within the BACD itself.

 

As predicted in my programme entry last year the demand for high quality dental care has further increased and will continue to do so. By being part of the BACD you are ensuring that you are well positioned to be at the forefront of this movement.

 

Finally, a big thank you to our sponsors as without them this event would be impossible to run.

 

We are always looking for new talent and fresh ideas so please do come and find me during the conference if there is anything you would like to discuss or feedback. As ever I look forward to speaking with you and enjoy the conference.

The BACD has been the biggest game changer for my career within dentistry over the past 11 years. I am fortunate to have made strong friendships, found invaluable mentorship, and learned a great deal about myself and where I feel I can add value to the profession. Working purely within cosmetic dentistry both clinically and in teaching roles, my clinical practice is limited to minimal preparation porcelain smile makeovers and treating patients with tooth wear. I believe that there has been an immense shift in the expectation levels our patients hold, and how safety in cosmetic dentistry is now paramount, which is where I see the BACD at the forefront. If you see me, come over to say hello, chat and find out what the BACD can do for you.

It was a humbling experience to be elected to the board of the BACD many years ago, and this year, I am deeply honoured to have taken on the role of President. The BACD is an organisation I hold close to my heart, and as I reflect on my journey, I am grateful for the many personal and professional relationships that have been instrumental in shaping my career. The BACD has been a constant source of inspiration, fuelling my passion for dentistry, and for that, I owe a deep debt of gratitude to all my colleagues and fellow members.

 

I want to sincerely thank the entire BACD family – members, committee, and board – whose trust and unwavering support have been overwhelming throughout my tenure. A special thank you also goes to our sponsors, whose continued support has made it possible for us to deliver world-class education and inspiration.

 

Though my time as President is coming to a close, I will always remain dedicated to the academy and look forward to staying connected with our members, whether through service or at the bar! I am also excited for what lies ahead, as I know Sam, our incoming President, will lead the academy with passion, flair, and a unique vision, steering it toward even greater success. The future is most definitely bright!

Being involved with the BACD since its inception, I have seen the academy grow through the dedication and hard work of our many members to become the face of cosmetic dentistry within the UK.

 

A core pillar of the academy has always been accreditation, with the goal to inspire and motivate our members to become the best they can be.

 

My goal as accreditation chair, is to continue to support and encourage our membership to participate in the accreditation process, to the benefit of our patients, our self-development and to the BACD.

As I reflect on my journey with the BACD, I am filled with gratitude – the academy has played an instrumental role in shaping my career, from the very first moment I attended a BACD meeting as a student, to serving as the President of this esteemed organisation and now moving off the board following my year as immediate past president.

 

Every year I look forward to the conference – they have been more than just educational opportunities; they have been a source of inspiration, connection, and growth. The camaraderie, the shared passion for excellence, and the commitment to ethical cosmetic dentistry have made these events truly a highlight of the dental calendar.

 

The BACD’s dedication to promoting ethics and excellence in cosmetic dentistry is vital in today’s digital world. It has provided a platform for like-minded professionals to come together and elevate the quality of care we provide to our patients. As I step away from my role as a director of the academy, I remain as committed as ever to supporting the BACD, the current board and its mission. I encourage all current and future members to engage fully with the academy, join the committees, join the board and make a difference to the future of cosmetic dentistry in the UK!

 

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this incredible journey. I look forward to seeing you all at the conference in London!

Welcome to the BACD 2023 Conference. My journey with BACD started as a student ambassador 9 years ago! Since then, it has been an instrumental force in shaping my career through the invaluable support and guidance I have gained from my BACD family. As part of the Board of Directors, I have the distinct pleasure to represent young dentists within the academy. If you are a student or young dentist please do come and say hello! I look forward to meeting you and it would be great to see more young dentists involved within the academy and also see how we can make your membership even more valuable.

 

Enjoy the conference.

I have always and continue to enjoy the challenge of creating restorations to the exacting standards required for BACD Accreditation.
