Membership

Membership of SAAD is open to any registered medical or dental practitioner or dental nurse whether based in the UK or abroad. The Society’s work is only possible through the support of its members. This work includes:
  • Regular running of SAAD Postgraduate Courses in London and other centres in the United Kingdom and periodically overseas.
  • SAAD courses for dental nurses which are usually in conjunction with SAAD Postgraduate Course and Seminars.
  • Representation on committees of enquiry, study groups, and virtually all official advisory bodies concerned with dental anaesthesia and sedation.
  • Advice to professional protection societies.
  • The furthering of research into the provision of pain and anxiety control.
  • Functioning as a member of the International Federation of Dental Anaesthesiology Societies- IFDAS - (which gives each SAAD member automatic membership).
Members are given special rates on SAAD courses. No other organisation offers such comprehensive activity in relation to pain and anxiety control in dentistry.
