At the recent British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy's (BSDHT's) Annual Oral Health Conference and Exhibition held in Bournemouth, the brand new Annual Clinical Journal of Dental Health was launched. The publication will complement the BSDHT's other publications, Dental Health and DH Contact.

The aim of the new journal is to provide an opportunity to showcase clinical research undertaken primarily by dental hygienists and therapists and encourage more clinical research by BSDHT members.

'I hope [our new journal] will encourage members to participate in research projects in the future,' said BSDHT President Sally Simpson. 'By doing so they will not only develop themselves but they will also benefit the wider dental community.'
