Mr Simon C. Harvey will be speaking at this year's British Dental Conference and Exhibition on Are we all looking at the same thing? CBCT and digital imaging, a core CPD topic.

Simon is a senior Specialist Registrar in Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology based at Guy's Hospital in London and holds an Honorary Lecturer position at King's College London. He worked in OMFS, general practice (private and NHS) and oral surgery before entering radiology.

Conference 2017

Simon will be discussing digital imaging and how it can integrate smoothly into your practice and improve your treatments. This includes CBCT and how to use this technique effectively. Simon says: 'Film radiography will become more and more obsolete as it has done in medicine, so we need to know how to maximise digital imaging techniques. CBCT training is all postgraduate based and this lecture complements your CBCT training portfolio'. The session is primarily aimed at dentists.

What is Simon looking forward to seeing at conference this year?

'The innovation from manufacturers interests me, so it will be nice to see the new products on the market. I always like speaking to practitioners using CBCT after lectures.'

Plans for 2017

'I am currently writing a second book with my co-author Shanon Patel and a group of international experts on the use of CBCT in dentistry. It will be a great resource with a strong evidence base but written by clinicians for clinicians. I lecture on dentistry in the developing world at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine with the charity Teeth Relief which is a charity I encourage dentists to engage with. They do some fantastic things.'

Simon will be speaking from 12:30-13:30 on Thursday 25 May in Charter Room 1 at the British Dental Conference and Exhibition in Manchester. To register and download the programme, visit www.bda.org/conference.
