DENTAL BOARD OF THE UNrITDKINGDOMThe Dental Postgraduate Bureau was instituted by theDental Board of the United Kingdom in 1947 to collectinformation regarding facilities for postgraduate studywhich exist in the British Isles and to make it availableto persons interested.A programme has been compiled from informationcollected by this Bureau, and much of it, although of ageneral nature, will serve as an indication of the typeof courses which may be arranged in particular centres.A supplement has been included outlining, briefly,conditions attaching to higher dental qualifications. Fordetailed information reference should be made to theUniversity or Licensing Corporation concerned. Inaddition to regular courses, arrangements have beenmade with various hospitals and schools in Londonwhereby dentists can attend occasional sessions asobservers in:-Anaesthesia, bacteriology, clinical radi-ography, dental surgery, operative dentistry, oralsurgery, orthodontics, paradontics and pathology.Appointments can only be made through the DentalPostgraduate Bureau. Attachments to maxillo facialunits in various parts of the country can also be arrangedfor short periods. In this connection attention is drawnto the work of postgraduate committees of Birminghamand Manchester which organize short courses from timeto time. To facilitate the organization of week-end andother courses, particularly in districts which are too re-mote from Dental Schools to take advantage of thebenefits offered by them, the Dental Board are preparedto make grants within specified limits towards the costsof local courses organized by practitioners workingthrough a local committee.The Bureau has also collected information aboutdental courses held in the United States of America.Further information can be obtained on application to theDirector, Dental Postgraduate Bureau, 44 Hallam Street,London, W.I.
