Join Brett Duane as he discusses sustainability in dentistry at this year’s Online Dentistry Show on the 19 March.

Associate Professor Duane will focus on what the dental team can do within the dental practice to improve their sustainability.

He will focus on the main sustainability areas of procurement, travel, energy, biodiversity and also waste. The lecture will bring together dental and associated healthcare research carried out recently within these areas.

At the end of the lecture, delegates will:

  • Understand the relationship between sustainability, planetary health and also personal health
  • And understand ways the dental team can influence and improve environmental sustainability through changes to travel, energy use, biodiversity, procurement, and prevention.
