The Oral Medicine, Pathology and Oral Surgery Research Group (OMPSG) is a collaborative network within the British Society for Oral and Dental Research (BSODR), bringing together researchers, clinicians, academics, trainees and others with interests across oral medicine, oral pathology and oral surgery.

The Group aims to promote collaboration, communication and exchange of ideas across disciplines, supporting research from basic science through to translational and clinical research. We are particularly interested in advancing understanding of oral and maxillofacial disease, potentially malignant and malignant disease, medically compromised patients, diagnostic and prognostic approaches, and emerging technologies including digital pathology and artificial intelligence.

A key aim of the Group is to support the development of the next generation of researchers and clinicians through mentorship, networking, research skills development and opportunities for collaboration. We organise and support scientific meetings, symposia, seminars, workshops and other educational and networking activities, and contribute to the development of scientific programmes at BSODR and Pan European Research (PER) meetings.

The Group welcomes members with interests spanning oral medicine, oral pathology, oral surgery and related clinical, scientific and educational disciplines, and seeks to provide an inclusive forum for sharing knowledge, developing collaborations and advancing research across these interconnected fields.
