Events - Vermilion - The Smile Experts

About Our Events

Throughout the year, we host a variety of CPD events led by our Vermilion specialists and clinicians and open to all our referring dental colleagues to express our gratitude for the continued patient referrals. These events are typically held at our Edinburgh clinic and our Kelso clinic.

Our free, verifiable CPD programme runs annually, covering all topics outlined by the GDC. The program is tailored to be engaging and interactive, providing a relaxed and informal atmosphere, complemented by a delicious dinner.

Vermilion Symposium

We are proud participants of the Biennial Symposium, a full-day event that brings together dental colleagues for verified CPD learning. The Symposium provides a unique opportunity to connect with our team, exchange ideas on key industry topics and network with peers, all while earning CPD hours. Explore highlights from our past Symposium here, or read the feature written by Wil Peakin in Scottish Dental Magazine here (pages 41–43).

How to Register

Most of our events are exclusively for referring dentists and are managed through My Vermilion. These events will be clearly labelled with “My Vermilion Exclusive Event” and are restricted to members, so referring dentists must register and login via the portal to secure their place.

Here you will also gain access to additional resources and allows CPD certificates to be stored and downloaded after the event.

Occasionally, we host events open to all dental professionals. Some of these may not be listed on My Vermilion. For these events, registration is handled outside the portal and CPD certificates will be issued manually.

Please note: if you have a My Vermilion account, certificates for open-to-all events cannot be downloaded through the portal.

If you need help with event registration, My Vermilion access or CPD certificates, please contact our events team at [email protected]
