BSDHT presents OHC 2023
This year’s OHC will take place at Manchester Central (the convention centre formerly known as the GMEX Centre) in the exciting city of Manchester on 25-26 November – save the date in your diaries!
The OHC is the must-attend event of the year for Dental Hygienists and Dental Therapists and our flagship member event.

Previous OHCs
We were thrilled to be back to an in-person event at OHC in Glasgow in November.
Nearly 300 of you joined us at the SEC Scotland and the atmosphere was electric as we saw old friends and colleagues for the first time in a while. More than 90% of delegates told us they plan to attend OHC 2022 and we hope to see even more of you there.
If you weren’t with us in Glasgow, watch a snapshot of what you missed and why you might want to think about joining us in Manchester this year.
