Info: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) is one of the 10 surgical specialties in the UK. The care provided by OMFS bridges the professions of dentistry and surgery. OMFS is unique in requiring trainees and consultants to be both dentists and doctors. There are just over 500 OMFS consultants in the UK with 6 in Northern Ireland.
This meeting is aimed at inspiring future OMFS surgeons to consider a career in OMFS.
