This R U OK?Day, we encourage everyone across the dental profession to check in with their colleagues, friends and those around them.

Dentistry can be highly rewarding, but professional isolation, business pressures and challenging patient interactions can take a toll. Taking the time to ask, listen and support one another can make a meaningful difference.

At FED26, A/Prof Matt Hopcraft and Matheesha Premaratna will discuss the importance of caring for your body and mind.
'Looking after you so you can look after your patients'
