Association for Dental Education in Europe
Learning together to improve oral health and quality of life
ADEE members have been advocates for sustainability change for many years, and the Association’s special interest group in sustainability has recently finalised an update to the Graduating European Dentist that embeds and further enables sustainable education and clinical practice for oral health professionals of the future. It is thus an appropriate time to recognise leaders in the field of environmental and sustainable practices. Aimed at embedding an ethos of sustainability within the educational lifecycle for oral health professionals and within their educational and clinical practice, best practice environmental examples will be showcased and recognised through participation in The Oral Health Professional Educators ‘Practice Green©’ Awards.
As the world’s largest provider of health care solutions to office-based dental and medical practitioners, Henry Schein recognises that with the Company’s global environmental footprint and unique position within an ecosystem of relationships with suppliers, business partners, and customers, the Company can be a driving force for sustainability. Practice Green© is a global sustainability initiative of Henry Schein, designed to encourage practitioners, practice teams, and dental laboratories to become more eco-friendly and to help empower the health care community to establish sustainable practices for a healthier planet.

In this category, we want to hear how you have integrated the concept of sustainability within the undergraduate and where relevant the post graduate curriculum for oral health professionals.
