About Us

The Pathfinder Study Club is now in our 4th year and our focus is to bring you speakers and educational content to support you in your dental careers and every day practice. The selection of speakers and workshops promises to be a blended mix of our ever popular treatment planning sessions, some hands on sessions, personal development and business insights.

Our format is quite unique because the philosophy of the study club is that we all learn together and from each other no matter our experience. We strive to make it a safe and trusting place to meet up, share problems and ideas and have the ability to be motivated and inspired by the world class content and speakers that we have access to.

The usual format is that we meet one evening a month and in addition to that we host a full day hands on session. The sessions are hosted by Dr Elaine Halley and supported by Flora Couper. Our members also have access to the Seattle Study Club educational online programme.

Some more speakers in this years curriculum

I loved being part of the pathfinder study club, not only for the expert speakers but also the safe environment that was created where we learned from and supported each other. I would highly recommend this to any dentist.
