The Organising Committee of the 7th International Orthodontic Congress extends a warm welcome to all members of the Orthodontic Team, to attend this exciting conference in one the most beautiful and exotic locations in the world, Sydney, Australia.

The Allied Dental Health professionals and Staff Programme, featuring many respected Australian and international speakers, has been structured specifically to improve the depth of clinical and professional knowledge of all the members of the Orthodontic Team.

We are also putting together an exciting Social Programme, to ensure that you not only improve your professional skills, but also get a chance to have fun, socialize and network with colleagues from all over the world, in one of it’s most beautiful cities, Sydney.

Allied Professionals, Nurses and Staff Program World Champion Nurses and Clerical Staff Competition

Winners will qualify for prize money of $A700 (1st Prize) $A500 (2nd) and $A300 (3rd) which is on offer from the competition sponsor 3M Unitek. All finalists will receive a certificate of achievement.

Following its successful debut at the 6th IOC meeting in Paris, the ‘World Champion Nurse Competition’ will once again be a feature of the Allied Dental Professionals, Nurses and Staff Programme at the 7th International Orthodontic Congress in Sydney in February, 2010.

Each WFO affiliated national orthodontic society or association may nominate one candidate for the final judging in Sydney. The Judging Panel will select a maximum of 10 finalists from the submissions received by 31 October 2009. These finalists will be invited to present in person at the Congress. Your society or association may either nominate your candidate directly or hold your own national competition to select your nominee.

We are suggesting that national societies offer to sponsor their nominee to the Sydney Congress in order to encourage wider participation in what should be an excellent educational exercise for all staff.

If you would like to participate, please download the application form and send it to your National Society for consideration.

We look forward to your support and participation in this exciting event.
