We are delighted to announce that the rescheduled Brian Cooke Memorial Lecture Day will now be held on Friday 11th November 2016, at the Vale Hotel & Spa, Hensol, Cardiff.

This event is held every two years to celebrate the opening of the School of Dentistry by the founder Dean in 1964. Many of you will remember the excellent event that was held in 2014 to mark the Golden Jubilee of the School of Dentistry.

As on previous occasions, the School has invited a number of dental specialists to speak at the educational part of the day. The topics chosen this year are all extremeley relevant to all members of the Dental Team, and include Antimicrobial Resistance, Mouth Cancer, Caries in Young Patients and the Phase Down of Amalgam. The Brian Cooke Memorial Lecture itself will be given by Professor Jon Cowpe, who will be known to all Dental Care Professionals in Wales from his role as Director of Postgraduate Education.

We hope that you will be able to join us on the new date of Friday 11th November 2016, for what will be an extremely useful and enjoyable Postgraduate Dental Education event with a social reception at the end of the day. Appropriate CPD will be awarded.

The lectures will run from 9am to 4:30pm, with breaks for coffee and lunch, and will be followed by a drinks reception.

We have also agreed a reduced price for a limited number of rooms within the hotel. Contact the hotel on 01443 665853, and ask for the event discounted prices of £80 Bed and Breakfast for a single room or £90 Bed and Breakfast for a double or twin room to see if there are any still available.
