A. No, once you have registered your details are stored on the system so you can keep booking events from one year to the next.

A. Check your emails searching for the name of the speaker. We will always send you a confirmation email. If you are still not sure then email support@glasgowodonto.org.
Q. I've forgotten my password?
A. Oh dear, it can happen to all of us. Don't worry! We do not store your password details but all you need to do is go to the Password Reset page and enter your email address. This will be sent to your email address.
Subscriptions
Q. When will my annual subscription be taken?
A. Your subscription will be taken on the same date that you registered and paid initially. So if you joined and paid on, for instance, 1 September 2015 your payments will be taken on that 1 September 2016 then 1 September 2017 and so on. HOWEVER if the card you used to pay expires before your next annual payment then you will receive a request to update your details. If you have any questions about this at the time please do not hesitate to contact us. You can update your card details in the My Account > Payment Methods tab at any time.

A. If you have paid your membership fee by standing order please join and pay online as directed and then contact the secretary who will arrange for a refund of your standing order.
Q. How long does my student membership last?
A. Final year students can join at the beginning of the season (October) and your free membership lasts until the end of the season (March). Then you are eligible to join as a full member.
Q. I am a retired dentist. How much is the annual subscription?
A. The retired dentist subscription is just £10 per year. That's less than £2 per meeting if you attend all six.
Q. I am a DCP, can I attend meetings?
A. Yes, DCPs can attend for £5 per meeting. This represents the same price as full membership and allows you to pick and choose the topics which interest you.
Booking
Q. How do I book a meeting?
A. You need to be registered to book your place online. Once you have registered you can sign in and then go to the meetings page to select the meeting you are interested in. Each meeting hasa booking form where you can reserve or pay for your place. Also, if you are registered then you will receive a reminder email at least one month prior to a meeting.
Q. Does membership give me automatic attendance at all six meetings?
A. Membership gives you early access to book all of the season's meetings for free but unfortunately we cannot always guarantee that there may be a place for you due to the popularity of this year's events. So it is advisable to book as earlier as possible to avoid disappointment.
Q. I have booked to attend a meeting but can't attend any more. What should I do?
A. Please let us know as soon as possible at secretary@glasgowodonto.org if you have booked a meeting but then find you cannot attend. If we have a waiting list for places this means that we can release your place to someone else.
Q. Can I book more than one delegate for a meeting or more than one guest at the annual dinner?
A. Yes please! We would be delighted to welcome as many new members and attendees as possible. Please email secretary@glasgowodonto.org with the details of the person/people you would like to bring. Alternatively send the to the register page on the website so they can register for themselves.
