Richard and Andy were last spotted this morning heading south to the NEC for one of the biggest events in the dental calendar - The Dentistry Show. Live dentistry, trade stands, international speakers and several thousand people mixing it up under one roof....
Whilst our Dental Therapist Sarah Jane and the team are running the show in Carlisle, Richard will no doubt have been looking at bright shiny toys to buy, and Andy as The Man With The Purse Strings will no doubt be telling him not to be so daft...which is as it should be.
There's a serious side to it all as well. Dentistry is booming, dental technology is changing fast and the boundaries of the possible shift with lightning speed. As one of Cumbria's leading providers of state of the art dental care, we strive to stay ahead of the game.
Richard has often said that a dentist has to constantly relearn his skills - what he knew in 1988 when he graduated is now decidedly old hat...So as Tony once said, it's all about education, education, education....
Our team have established links with a wide network of businesses and organisations nationally, and days like these are a golden opportunity to hear the best speakers, meet our friends and colleagues, and select the best equipment materials and techniques to bring to you, our patients.
Let's see what he says when he gets back to the Office on Monday...and we're worried about what he might have bought....
Have a great weekend - looks like spring's arrived!
