The annual scientific meeting of the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS) is primarily a national meeting with a minor international contribution (3%). In the 10 years between 2002 and 2011 there were 1639 oral and poster presentations, and there was a significant increase in the total number of presentations (93–313, p < 0.001). There have also been substantial increases in the proportion of poster (36–80%, p = 0.005) and clinical presentations (88–94%, p = 0.02). The 10 most productive units contributed roughly half of all UK presentations, whilst the top 5 deaneries contributed 61%. The trends in output by the most productive units are noted and the total output of units and deaneries within the United Kingdom (UK) is shown on a colour map. The information will be of value to trainees when considering the merits of a training unit and region.
