Benefits of membership:

The BSSCMD (formerly the Cranio Group) is an international study group of health care professionals who have a particular interest in the treatment of disorders of the cranio-mandibular-cervical system (once known as "TMJ"). Members are mainly Dentists and Orthodontists (65%) plus Osteopaths, Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, CranioSacral therapists, Alexander teachers, etc. There is also a special student membership. The Cranio group was initiated in 1992 by Dr Richard Dean and Dr Noel Stimson. The BSSCMD was started in 1994. Now chaired by Dr. Andrè Hedger.
The membership now includes many internationally known professionals from all associated disciplines and from many countries including Britain, Ireland, Europe, USA, Canada and Australia.
The Society's journal 'Cranio UK' is published twice a year by editor/publisher Noel Stimson, who is a retired dentist with 40 years experience of general dental practice, the last 20 years involved with orthodontics and treating cranio-mandibular disorders. The journal is available (free of charge) only to Cranio Group members.
Membership of BSSCMD costs GB £100 a year for UK and overseas members, all of whom are bona fide health care professionals or dental laboratory technicians/owners. Students and first-year post-graduates pay £20 per academic year.
