#30 Dental Leaders Bulletin - Interview with the BAPD - A New Voice for Private Dentistry

Faced with a lack of clear advice, guidance and representation, dentists have taken the unprecedented step of forming a new association.   The British Association of Private Dentistry (BAPD) started out as an online grassroots movement in response to the COVID-19 crisis and quickly gained a huge following.   In the first of our topical buletin shows, Prav and Pay are joined by BAPD co-founders Jason Smithson and Bertie Napier, alongside implant dentist Dominic O’Hooley, who co-authored a report on AGPs and infection.   They talk about the science of transmission, the need for better industry representation and much more.   “One of the things I'll be looking for is a GDC that's by dentists for dentists. So that wet-finger dentists are integral and central to the regulatory process for dentists in the U.K. And I'll leave it at that.” Dominic O'Hooley   00.38 - Welcome to our guests 02.38 - Aerosols and viral transmission 10.02 - Precautions and public perception 21.02 - Airborne threat 27.04 - Dentists and infection rates 32.43 - The pathway back to work 37.59 - Private dentistry and representation 54.25 - Silver linings 1.00.41 - Back to work
