The newly-constituted Young Dentists Committee met for the first time on 10 April and elected a new chair, Harman Chahal, and two vice-chairs, Ursala Jogezai and Sami Stagnell. Kevin Opoku-Dapaah completes the YDC Executive. Chair Harman Chahal said: “I'm honoured to be the first elected chair for the YDC and I really look forward to working with committee on some of the big issues affecting young dentists.”
The Committee’s agenda featured discussions about the future plan and priorities for the committee, NHS dental contact reform, General Dental Council regulation, dental foundation training and BDA conference.
Chair Harman Chahal said: “I'm honoured to be the first elected chair for the YDC and I really look forward to working with committee on some of the big issues affecting young dentists. Times are getting ever tougher for young dentists, from the challenges of finding your first job through to trying to buy your own practice, all in an increasingly turbulent economic environment.
“This new committee will aim to represent a wide range of young dentists and to give advice and support on a range of topics and issues. We'd like all young dentists out there to get engaged with the Association and to help ensure the career path for dentists is secure and rewarding."
The committee received presentations from BDA Principal Executive Committee Chair Mick Armstrong, and young dentist Reena Wadia, gave advice on engaging with the dental community and how to effectively use of social media.
