SkiPD is a long weekend in the Alps for dentists who want to get better at what they do and have fun at the same time.

Spend the days on the slopes, then come together in the evening for honest, practical CPD. No long, boring lectures. We discuss important, real-life topics, with practical advice and close group discussions.

The resort

Welcome to Flaine.

Flaine sits high in the Grand Massif, one of the largest ski areas in France. Built in the 1960s with architecture by Marcel Breuer, it's a car-free resort where you can ski almost to the door.

It's a short transfer from Geneva, which makes it an easy long weekend from the UK.
