BSDHT presents OHC 2024

This year’s OHC will be heading back north to Harrogate on 22-23 November – save the date in your diaries! 2024 marks 75 years since the creation of the BDHA, now the BSDHT, so we hope you’ll join us as we come together to celebrate 75 years at the heart of prevention – focussing on how we remain at the heart of prevention within the dental profession.

The OHC is the must-attend event of the year for Dental Hygienists and Dental Therapists and our flagship member event. By attending you’ll benefit from two days of clinical education and CPD, with talks from leading speakers and updates from the profession. Alongside the educational programme there are lots of opportunities to network with colleagues, experts, and industry.

The programme and other conference features are in development – check back here for regular updates and announcements.

Who should attend

The conference has something for all the dental team including Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy students. The BSDHT encourages skill mix and recognises the benefit of this team approach.

Programme

With a combination of exciting keynotes speakers, multi-stream parallel sessions and hands-on workshops, the OHC programme is designed so you can plan your attendance to suit your individual learning needs.

Previous OHCs

OHC 2023 was bigger and better than ever and more than 350 of you joined us in the seaside town of Bournemouth. Nearly 90% of delegates told us they will be joining us at the next conference, and we hope to see even more of you who may not have been to OHC before or who are returning for the first time in a few years. If you weren’t with us in Bournemouth, take a look at some highlights here.
