P087 Post-operative surgical site infections in mandibular fractures: risk factors and financial implications
The treatment of mandibular fractures is one of the most common emergency surgical procedure undertaken in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery. Although rare, post-operative surgical site infections (SSIs) can be a devastating complication resulting in significant patient morbidity and a potentially substantial fiscal burden to the health service. Our study aims to explore the risk factors for, and the financial implications of, SSIs in surgically treated mandibular fractures. (Source: The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

P089 An audit to investigate documentation of post-operative instructions following mandibular fracture(s)
There are many modifiable risk factors in the management of Maxillofacial patients who undergo facial trauma. Much of the information communicated in the acute phase of treatment is often not retained by patients, and this may be a contributing factor in lack of patient compliance. The provision of adequate post-operative advice could lead to a reduced incidence of post-operative complications. Documentation signifying this advice is vital; not only does this ensure appropriate communication of advice, but with the emergence of increased medicolegal negligence claims, such contemporaneous clinical records are vital.

P090 Utilising virtual reality in global surgical education
The burden of global disease in OMFS is well acknowledged and often highly preventable, but specialist training remains scarce in many Low- and-Middle-Income-Countries (LMICs). Investment in upskilling local healthcare providers in surgical techniques is crucial. Virtual Reality in Surgery and Medicine (VRiMS) enables 360-degree video-streaming of bespoke live cadaveric surgical teaching, integrating context specific considerations and local user needs. Innovative delivery via frugal cardboard headsets and smartphones ensured accessibility. (Source: The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

P091 A systematic review of simulation-based training tools for technical and non-technical skills in oral and maxillofacial surgery
The demand for simulation-based training is rising as a result of advancements in surgical equipment, shorter workdays, and the lack of training opportunities brought on by the COVID-19 epidemic. (Source: The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

P092 Does UK oral and maxillofacial training satisfy the requirements for GDC registration as a specialist in oral surgery? A quantitative forensic analysis
In the United Kingdom Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) and Oral Surgery (OS) are two distinct specialties governed respectively by the General Medical Council (GMC) and General Dental Council (GDC). We sought to quantitatively analyse both OMFS and OS training curricula to establish areas of overlap and distinction, to then evaluate if OMFS training satisfies the requirements for registration as an OS specialist.

P093 Reporting standards for Orthopantomograms (OPG) in a Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) and proposal of minimum data set
The Faculty of General Dental Practitioners (FGDP) guidance on dental radiograph reporting states “a clinical evaluation of the outcome of each exposure must be carried out but does not necessarily need to be a full radiology report. If no clinical evaluation takes place, this indicates the exposure should not have taken place.” Our hospital radiology reporting has been devolved to the refer rer.

P095 Help stopping infant oral mutilation – a global child abuse and public health issue
All OMFS surgeons have been receiving updated knowledge of preventing Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in regular mandatory Level 3 Child Safeguarding training. There is no teaching or awareness of children with IOM. Global mobilisation has resulted in an influx of migrant population to UK including children. IOM is a barbaric act involving the removal of healthy primary tooth buds with unhygienic, crude instruments without sterilisation or anaesthetic. Children undergoing IOM not only suffered from short and long term local dental abnormalities, but can also contract blood borne infection and death due to septicaemia. (Sou...

P096 GDC CPD for OMFS – what does it all mean and how do I do it?
As dual qualified and often dual registered, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and trainees often have a commitment to fulfilling the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements of the General Dental Council (GDC) and the General Medical Council (GMC). The latest GDC “Enhanced CPD” is more detailed in its requirements for CPD certification and many OMFS, and most medically focussed courses do not meet these.

P097 Eagle ’s syndrome – a surgical management challenge
Eagle ’s syndrome (ES), when unrelated to tonsillectomy, is an uncommon condition in which the elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament is a source of facial pain and other unpleasant symptoms. Clinically this condition presents as neck or throat pain, dysphagia, pain on turning the he ad or dizziness. This case however, presented also with a bony lump visible and palpable in the tonsillar region. (Source: The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

P098. Presentation, management and reconstruction of head and neck necrotising soft tissue infections: the West of Scotland experience
Necrotising soft tissue infection of the head and neck region is a rare but life threatening condition. Delay in surgical debridement of (>12 hours after admission) has been associated with poorer outcomes. We aim to share our experience managing a large case series of patients.

P101 Attitudes and awareness of emergency department (ED) physicians toward the management of common dentofacial emergencies what has changed a decade later?
In 2011, the author investigated the attitudes and awareness of UK emergency department physicians toward the management of common dentofacial emergencies. Data suggested ED doctors do not feel confident in managing some dentofacial emergencies, which was attributed due to the lack of training. The aim was to follow up on this study, look at the current knowledge and confidence levels (Source: The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
