Dear Colleagues
On 1st May 2025 the Chief Dental Officer, Jason Wong, will be visiting Norfolk. He will be speaking at an event arranged by the Norfolk and Norwich BDA Section titled Dentistry in 2025 and beyond. I know that many of you will have booked to attend this event, but we want to hear as many voices from the dental community as possible.
I would be grateful if you could complete this very short survey, and we will pass the information onto the CDO before the event:
This would have been emailed to you.
I would be grateful if you could respond before 24th April 2025.
Kind regards
Jason Stokes
LDC Secretary
