The East of Scotland Branch meets five times a year and has members from the whole of the east side of Scotland, from Wick in the very North East to the Borders in the south. In addition to dentists we welcome dental nurses, hygienists and dental therapists and any trainees to our meetings. Non-members are also very welcome to attend. All meetings are recognised for 1.5 hours of verifiable CPD.
