Dental Management of Patients with or at Risk of Infective Endocarditis

An invitation is offered for two dentists that wish to be involved with the development of some national guidelines.

We are creating a focus group to discuss Guidelines surrounding Dental Management of Patients with or at Risk of Infective Endocarditis, being considered for Surgery.

The initial focus group will surround the question of 'who and where' these patients should be treated.

The focus group will involve Specialists from Perio, Endo, Restorative, Special Care, OMFS, Oral Surgery Community and GDPs.

We are looking for two GDPs, ideally one NHS and one private or mixed, to provide some contribution.
