It is our great pleasure to invite you on behalf of the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry BSPD and the Local Organizing Committee to attend the BSPD 68^th annual conference in our beautiful city of Liverpool. 

The conference is the most important event on the BSPD annual calendar.  It’s an opportunity for all those interested in Children’s Oral Health in the UK and internationally to come together for a wide-ranging scientific programme, to benefit from the opportunity to network with colleagues, and to top up on CPD. 

The theme is ‘20/20 Vision’, a term that we know to denote standard eyesight, and is also a metaphor for learning from the past and looking to the future. It’s a perfect theme to explore many aspects of paediatric dentistry and child welfare, and to understand how our knowledge and experience can be translated into future policy and practise.

We will be looking at children’s oral health and well-being from all aspects, from the impact of nutrition and TV, the needs of the vulnerable, the sights and sounds of childhood. We will also focus on our professional needs, whether in the field of clinical leadership or honing minimally invasive dentistry or managing trauma.

Don’t forget there will also be excellent presentations by BSPD members as part of prize presentations and posters, and Study day hosted by Teacher’s Branch.

We want you to have an unforgettable time while you are with us. Liverpool Cathedral is among the top Liverpool locations we have selected for the social programme. Outside of the conference programme we have organised some fun activities to help stretch the body as well as the mind!

Looking forward to welcoming you in Liverpool.
