Journal of Disability and Oral Health (2002) 3/2 77–94
We are delighted that the current President of BSDH, Professor Raman Bedi will become the new Chief Dental Officer for England in October 2002. His predecessor, Dame Margaret Seward, had a special interest in dental services for people with disabilities and indeed spoke of this feedback is applauded by the educationalist who has provided input and support for the exam. The resource package is being finalised along with the assignment questions for each module. The examiners continue to work hard behind the scenes with plenty of delegated tasks to keep them busy, plus regular meetings at the College. The aim is to launch the exam on 30 September 2002; potential candidates will then be able to apply for Part A of the exam. Please call the Examinations Department at the Royal College on 020 7405 3474 or Selina Master on 01372 735 213 if you would like more information.

Janet Griffiths reports that the Disability Rights Commission has published new guidelines for service providers. ‘2004 – what it means for you’ is a guide for the reasonable adjustments to the physical features of premises to overcome barriers to access. The DRC advises that planning should start NOW and strongly recommends an inclusive approach, involving local access groups or organisations of disabled people.
