Emma Turner - Graduate Of The Year 2020
The ADG team has an annual commitment to uniting groups of like-minded early-career dentists to empower them to provide the highest quality healthcare to their patients. In the face of COVID, the dynamism of our approachable ADG mentors in their adaptation to online CPD has allowed them to continue to challenge the notion of dentistry being an isolating profession. As the programme captures dental grads in unique situations from across the country, it has been valuable to be exposed to different approaches to treatment planning and patient management and to have a platform to engage in discussions around clinical dilemmas that we commonly face in the early stages of our careers.

What a great day! The practicality of all the information presented is invluable. I feel so thankful for the team at the mini residency and their ongoing support for new graduate dentists. Great tips to take away, the main for me personally were the matrix system and crown prep tips.
