Welcome to the Home of Prison Dentistry
The NAPDUK was formed in 2007. The inaugural conference for the organisation took place in Birmingham on 1 February 2008. The meeting was a great success and was attended by over 140 delegates from all over the UK. A further conference is planned for 6 February 2009 in Birmingham. The association was set up with the whole dental team in mind. The aims of the association are as follows:
- To provide information, support and advice to prison dental professionals
- To provide a forum for exchange of ideas
- To provide a forum for continuing education and training
- To bring professionals together to share best practice
- To influence policy relating to prison oral and general health at the local and national level
The executive committee of the association meet regularly to discuss current issues. A constitution is currently being drafted and discussions are taking place on specialist training.
The website was launched in April 2008 and is still undergoing development. We will be adding sections as time allows. Contributions and suggestions are always welcome. For those wishing to join the association, a membership application form can be downloaded from the membership page.
