Chairman’s welcome: “ Alpha Omega’s offering for 2020/2021 season will be the most exciting and innovative yet; and relevant and informative to all”

LDS RCS Eng I am delighted to be welcoming you as the incoming chairman of the London branch of the Alpha Omega International Dental Society.

The last few months have been eventful and not a little challenging for all of us, whether practice owners, practicing specialists or newly qualified/and undergraduate students in this wonderful profession.

Alpha Omega’s offering for 2020/2021 season will be the most exciting and innovative yet; and relevant and informative to all.

Alpha Omega is a welcoming community for all dentists, oral health professionals and students and especially those newly qualified and about to embark on their professional journeys. We are now working with Health Education England to offer excellent educational material for the foundation dentists and an opportunity for them to meet with, connect with and learn from dentists at all levels in their careers.

We offer a superior level of educational training with the best and the brightest in the dental world, as well as mentoring and of course the opportunity to engage socially with our professional colleagues.

Dentistry can be a very lonely and often stressful profession and I believe it is important to be reminded that you are not alone; in Alpha Omega, we are a community, a unique society, a forum where problems big and small can be shared and understood.

The events of the past year were, to use that overworked word, unprecedented. New ways of disseminating information, communicating and arranging lectures have

been employed and Alpha Omega rose to the challenge and embraced these changes ensuring our members, globally, received fascinating lectures and learning opportunities throughout lockdown. Over the summer, we have made significant changes to our website and I together with the council are delighted that the website is now more interactive and regularly updated. Please check it out!

There are two amazing webinars booked for October and November this year and from January we will host our monthly lectures back at the BDA and also online for those unable to attend in person.

Read on to discover more about these upcoming events and be sure to find out about the great benefits of becoming a member. Members are able to attend all the lectures, giving CPD points and access to specialist private events and more!

Join now and enjoy the mentoring, friendship, charity and an exceptional standard of further education!

Find out more here: www.alphaomegauk.co.uk/become-member-today Thank you to both the Council and Scientific Committees, especially past Chairman Dr Richard Horwitz and the Chair of the Scientific Committee Professor Eddie Scher for all their help in putting together the programme for this year. I hope to continue building on the successes of last year.

www.alphaomegauk.co.uk

Welcoming new members At Alpha Omega we welcome new members of any background and from all areas of dentistry; whether at the start, middle or the latter parts of your career. Through our ethos you will find like minded dentists to discuss issues with or bounce ideas off of. Enjoy great speakers who have a wealth of experience. Get your CPD in a way that you’ll get so much more from than a podcast and webinars. If you’d like to discuss membership give me a call, send me an email or just sign up on the website.

I also thank all our fantastic sponsors especially Henry Schein, for their generous charitable donations and support for all our events. If you don’t already use their Alpha Omega rewards and discounts take a look at them, (another membership perk!)

Most importantly I have to thank all our members for their continued support and encouragement. Please continue to bring guests, colleagues, peers and students to the events, introduce them to the phenomenon that is Alpha Omega and help our London Group grow.

For more detailed information about all of our events and how to join, visit our website: www.alphaomegauk.co.uk Follow us: Twitter: @alpha_omega_london Instagram: @AOLondon Facebook: AlphaOmegaDentalUK

We look forward to welcoming you.

Course overview

Captain Hawkins will look at how aviation has developed structures and techniques to foster a “Just Culture” which promotes an open reporting philosophy. He will explain how lessons are learnt from incidents and how those lessons are shared across aviation as an industry as well as how feedback loops are created and are used to support, educate, train and improve the skills of those in operational roles on the flight deck.

To share the experiences learnt by aviation in developing open reporting as a fundamental cornerstone of how business is done across the industry. Then to look at the positive benefits of creating feedback loops to improve standards, learn from incidents and to use this information to shape operational procedures and training to support the concept of continuous improvements in safety and operational standards.

Professor Wright will discuss how the dental practitioner and the dental team is often considered to be infallible. We deal with the most intimate aspects of human life, and given such responsibility we are not allowed to make an error, and if we do the patient holds us accountable.

If however, as a profession, we shift our thinking about error, to a more positive, constructive approach that is centred on analysing why errors happen, we can then accept our vulnerability and design systems and protocols to prevent errors from occurring.

Professor Wright will talk about the prevalence and significance of errors in dentistry, and with the aid of real life litigation cases offers advice of how we can minimise errors within our practice teams.

Educational aims and objectives •

To understand what a “Just Culture” looks like and what is needed to achieve it.

•

How to share information across a profession and how to make this work for people on the front line

• •

How to facilitate open reporting

Creating and using feedback loops to learn the lessons of others and to shape policy, practices and training.

WILL TECHNOLOGY CHA Course Date Tuesday 25 May 2021 Course overview

Conventional dental care cannot prevent recurrence of caries or prevents progression of periodontal diseases.

Secondary caries and periodontal breakdown are nearly half of our dental work. Thus, routine treatment modalities, contradict our commitment to our patients; to provide best treatment for maintaining oral health for life. What will best serve our patients’ health and quality of life? Which of the emerging technologies, and concepts, will become disruptive? Which will change our own practice for good? And finally, what is best for us and our practice in the post Covid-19 era? Examples from our private practice of complex cases with various treatment options, modalities and workflows, will be used to assess the role of new concepts for the benefit of our patients. Assessment will include health and biological benefits, morbidity and patient convenience. The following will be presented and discussed: (i)

(ii)

4 handed dental treatment concept, 2 operators working simultaneously on the patient, intraoral scanner, and digital communication and workflows,

(iii) deep sedation administered by anesthesiologist,

(iv) uncompromised one-day-treatment workflow, and (v)

REPORT OF THE ALPHA OMEGA LONDON CHARITABLE TRUST 2019 - 2020 The Trustees met regularly prior to Corona-19 initiating unprecedented global challenges. The Trustees take this opportunity to offer very best wishes to those who may have lost family, friends or colleagues during this awful time.

In response to Covid-19, a working group was established within Alpha Omega London to draft guidance to support a safe return to practice for our members. Following positive response to this guidance, we were invited to join the College of General Dentistry Taskforce and Dr Jonathan Lack represented Alpha Omega London. The Alpha Omega London Chapter and Charitable Trust have since been recognised as a Founding Contributor of the College of General Dentistry providing £500 in support of its establishment together with its academic and professional mission.

The Trustees are delighted to have supported the Dean of the Tel Aviv Dental School, Professor Ervin Weiss, during his term of office and wish him well in his academic retirement. The Trust recently contributed £20,000 toward a cone beam scanner for patients at the School and those referred from further afield. We offer heartiest congratulations to the new Dean, Professor Shlomo Matalon, and look forward to collaborating on new initiatives in the future.

After many years of excellent collaboration with the Hadassah School of Dental Medicine, the Trust is also delighted to be working with the Dean, Professor Aaron Palmon. We have assisted with the purchase of

essential sterilisation cassettes and the establishment of a ‘Digital Laboratory’ to support dental education and patient care. The Trust has already sent $15,000 and a further $10,000 will follow. Also at Hadassah, the Ino Sciaky Prize for Oral Medicine was awarded to Dr Svetlana Feldman together with a $500 bursary.

Responding to an urgent need following extensive discussions with Professor Eli Machtei, Head of the Graduate Dental School at the Rambam Medical Centre in Haifa, the Trust agreed to support essential paediatric dental care for refugee children in Israel with a grant of £5,000 and we await the report on the impact of this support.

In association with Mrs Susan Zamet, the Trust continues to offer the ‘Dr John Zamet Memorial Prize in Periodontal Research’ in recognition of John’s significant contribution to clinical periodontology. Dr Niamh Coffey has been confirmed as the 2019 prize recipient for her study into ‘Periodontal Health in Adults with Cystic Fibrosis’ but presentation of the certificate and £2,000 award will be delayed until next year due to Covid-19.

The Alpha Omega London Charitable Trust has also supported the following projects over the past year:

The Trust continues to offer awards to both undergraduate students and postgraduate specialist trainees, the latter being in association with the KCL Dental Institute with the agreement recently being renewed for a further two years. Due to Covid-19 and the cancellation of conferences, no awards have been granted this year.

Royalties from the BDJ book “Tooth Surface Loss” by Andrew Eder and Richard Ibbetson have once again been generously divided between the BDA Benevolent Fund and the Alpha Omega Charitable Trust. A new edition is under preparation with a launch planned for 2021.

Following a successful start to the Alpha Omega London Chapter programme under the Chairmanship of Dr Richard Horwitz and with the support of our colleagues in the dental trade and with Henry Schein kindly donating £13,250, the Trust has still received £20,450 in support of its charitable activities despite global challenges due to Covid-19.

Finally, I wish to acknowledge the hard work and commitment of our Trustees and the many friends and colleagues who give so freely of their time on behalf of the Alpha Omega London Chapter and Charitable Trust.

Special thanks go to Dr Richard Horwitz as Chair of the Chapter and Dr Aron Marcus for taking on the role of Treasurer.
