New magazine for the dental team

The BDJ News section accepts items that include general news, latest research and diary events that interest our readers. Press releases or articles may be edited, and should include a colour photograph if possible.

The BDJ is pleased to launch the first issue of Vital with this issue of the BDJ.

Vital is a new magazine for the dental team, published as a regular supplement to the BDJ. PCDs have increased in importance in recent years and with the extension of duties for hygienists and therapists and the upcoming registration of dental nurses and technicians, the time is right for a publication for the whole dental team.

The launch issue of Vital includes features on GDC registration, the dental nurse NVQ, the status of PCDs, treatment planning and a day in the life of a dental technician.

Vital also includes a lifestyle section, letters, news, advice and opinion. The magazine will be launched officially at this year's Dental Showcase in Birmingham from November 20-22. For additional copies, visit the BDJ on stands 03-05.
