Your registration includes the conference morning - with keynote speaker Norman Swan, clinical practice breakout session with Dr Alison Sahhar, networking with more than 500 oral health professionals and a large exhibitor space - before you move into the Core Panoramic and Intraoral Radiograph training in the afternoon.
