The Craniofacial Society of Great Britain and Ireland annual conference took place in Dublin this week, and there were a multitude of interesting and insiteful presentations on all aspects of cleft and cleft treatment. We hope in the near future to make available summaries of some of the presentations here.
Mr. Earley at the end of the conference handed over the chain of office as President to Bill Shaw, Professor of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Development, Manchester University Dental Hospital.
