2015 Portsmouth Oral Surgery Study Day 

Influencing, immunospression and iatrogenic injury.                                                                              What you did and didn’t know that you didn’t know!

A study day with speakers of national and international standing, starting with a morning session focusing on a skill that we all employ on a daily basis – influencing, be it family friends, peers, colleagues or patients. There is a fantastic research base to support how we can make our daily lives more effective and easier by understanding some of the key principles of influencing and Fiona Dent is an internationally recognised academic specialising in the field. The afternoon session will then switch to a clinical focus with Ernest Wong giving us an insight into the world of Rheumatology as applied to the diseases we all see in our daily oral surgery practice.  Simon Atkins will then close the day. He is an Academic Consultant in Oral Surgery at the University of Sheffield and is focused in both his research work and clinical practice on iatrogenic injury of the trigeminal nerve. He will update us on the management of iatrogenic trigeminal nerve injury and share both his clinical and research experience of the surgical and medical management of these patients.
