OR

You want to delegate this to members of your team but haven’t the time to teach them yourself

  1. Equipment
  2. Accessories
  3. The classic 4 extral oral views
  4. The classic 2 peri oral views
  5. The classic 5 intra oral views
  6. Positioning and technique
  7. Settings
  8. Hints and tips
  9. Classic mistakes and troubleshooting

SIX HOURS STRUCTURED CPD (including 3 hours of CORE)

Who:

Stephen Murray, who has delivered his photography workshops in Ireland and UK, lectured to IDA national and metro meetings on the topic.

How to book:

Call or email us at Swords Orthodontics for more details and to book. We are limiting the numbers on this to ensure everyone gets personal attention in the work shop.

We applied to the Dental Council to get this approved as Verifiable CPD. It's early in the year, so you might not have got your leaflet from them about the changes to CPD in Ireland - this course is now designated as STRUCTURED CPD (as opposed to self-directed). It combines CORE CPD (as photography is a medical record) and HANDS-ON CPD as this is a practical workshop as well. HANDS ON CPD counts for extra hours of CPD than a simple lecture, so if you attend, we'll certify you for 6 HOURS of STRUCTURED CPD (3 of CORE, and 3 Hands On). We're happy to discuss any of the compliance with the requirements with anyone interested in attending.

(*Blood, sweat and tears not actually guaranteed.)

Charging extra to write a letter - we don't

My general advice with sudden changes to flight arrangements is always call the company rather than try to work it out through a website.

It remains to be seen if I can get a refund, but my travel insurance does have a feature that allows me to make a ...

Farewell to The Betsy

A few days ago, I heard that The Betsy in Swords closed suddenly. I was sorry to hear this. It was just across Swords Main Street from the practice and it was a location for many Swords Orthodontics lunches for birthdays and maternity leaves and even a Christmas party.

We're looking for a new colleague at Swords Orthodontics

Swords Orthodontics is looking for a new colleague. We have got some chairs/sessions available.

We are looking for Specialist in an area other than orthodontics - I would be delighted to consider colleagues from any areas, but probably endo and oral surgery may be the best fit at the moment. Not just to help us win more awards - though that's always fun - but to broaden the scope of the things we can do for our patients and their familes, as well ...
