Low Wood Hotel, Windermere, Cumbria. 19th - 21st March 2010

Once again we are able to offer you an exceptional rate for our 2010 conference which is being hosted in the Low Wood Hotel in the heart of the English Lake district.

Statutory registration with the GDC is now in place for all Dental Care Professionals; therefore it is compulsory for Dental Technicians to accumulate verifiable continuing professional development (CPD) points. The OTA conference is undoubtedly a major source for technicians specialising within Orthodontics.

It is expected that there will be an increase in demand for the 2010 conference, with an extensive range of quality presentations, verifiable CPD points and a conference venue that is simply stunning. We would strongly advise to book as early as possible to avoid disappointment and missing out on these vital CPD points.

Venue:

Low Wood Hotel Windermere, Cumbria, England, LA23 1LP.
