The West of Scotland division was set up in 1993 and remains one of the most active divisions of the FGDP in the UK. Currently there are in excess of 120 members. Our diploma study groups have been running throughout this time as the exam changed from the DGDP, to the MFGDP and now to the MJDF. This is the first step on the career pathway for GDPs. There has been a surge of interest in this exam in recent years with our study group full each year and a waiting list for the following year. Details of how to get involved can be found below. Email Kenny in our Contact us page if you are interested.
We run a very successful annual clinical study day in Glasgow in early December. This regularly attracts an audience of over 150 dentists to hear internationally renowned speakers. This year's meeting will take place on the 4th of December in the Royal Concert Hall. It will in fact be the 15th anniversary of our December Meeting. Kevin Lewis and Raj Rattan are speaking We look forward to welcoming our FGDP Members, both past and present.
This is my second year as Divisonal Director and I am looking forward to working with the new divisional board. All in all, we are lucky to be part of an active and vibrant division. I would like to thank all our committee members for the time and effort they have spend helping us achieve this over the years. I would like to pay a special thanks to Charlie Ormond, my predecessor, who has worked tiredlessly for the FGDP in the West of Scotland over the last decade.
If I do half as well....
Conor O'Malley
Divisional Director
