The Osteopathic Centre for Children, London.
13 November 2021: This was my 13th annual presentation to the OCC. “The Effect of Jaw Problems on the Rest of the Body – Exploring the wider role of dentistry and child health.” It was again by zoom. Students of the OCC were joined with a number of osteopaths from various countries, eg: Brazil, South Africa, Singapore, and Italy. For those unable to attend the live event and for future teaching purposes, it was recorded. This session raised a considerable sum of money for this most worthwhile charity.
The presentation stressed the importance of good facial development in order to attain optimal nasal & pharyngeal airways and good posture. Osteopaths have an important role to play in monitoring this development and avoiding future problems.
The new College of General Dentistry
Launched 21st October 2021
Developing a college for the 21st century:
Committed to patients’ interests
Authoritative thought leadership in holistic oral healthcare
Promoting inter-professional medical care
Defining career pathways and cultivating a passion for learning
Nurturing excellence in practice, with integrity
Team-oriented and inclusive
This event took place in the Barber-Surgeons’ Hall, Monkwell Square, London.
King Henry VIII gave the charter to celebrate the Act of Union between the Company of Barbers and the Guild or Fellowship of Surgeons in 1540 so it is fitting that the launch of this college should take place in this auspcious building.
