I am thrilled to be able to welcome you to the very first issue of BDJ Team! BDJ Team is the successor to Vital (published from 2003-2013) and we have been working flat out since last autumn to launch BDJ Team on target in March 2014!

So what can readers expect from BDJ Team?

Your new magazine

  • A new issue every month starting in March (Vital was only published four times a year)

  • One hour of verifiable CPD every month

  • Instant access to BDJ Team articles on your computer, tablet or smartphone

  • A reader forum on our Facebook group

  • Regular announcements and important DCP news on the BDJ Team website

  • Access to our dedicated jobs site

  • Ealerts so that you never miss an issue of BDJ Team

  • All of the articles that you loved in Vital - people stories, research, advice, news and views, products and CPD - but published more often!

Just click through the pages of this digital edition, and visit www.bdjteam.co.uk, to see what's in store this spring. Our first feature is about Sharon Grant, a dental therapist who says she loves radiography. How fitting then that our first core CPD article is on that very same topic! We also meet the BADN's new President and find out what people used to swill around their mouths in 1893...
