Full Membership Status For Dental Hygienists and Dental Therapists

The British Society of Periodontology (BSP) has announced that dental hygienists and dental therapists have been given full membership status.
As full members, dental hygienists and dental therapists will have voting rights, which they did not have as associate members. They will continue to benefit from reduced subscription rates both for annual membership and registration fees for scientific meetings. It is hoped that these changes will encourage dental hygienists and dental therapist members of the BSP to play a full role in the activities of the society.
Full membership will automatically be conferred on existing associate members and will be offered to all new members at the point of application for membership of the society.
