Medical Emergencies (Dental Surgeries)

We understand that that Dental Surgeries need focused and specific medical training in order to meet their particular standards. So we offer two packages that provide cost effective ways for Dentists to meet their annual Verifiable CPD requirement in the core subject of Medical Emergencies as determined by the General Dental Council (GDC).

Our Medical Emergencies course provides 4 hours of training.

Both courses have been specifically managed to meet the GDC’s Verifiable CPD requirements and are in line with the Resuscitation Council guidelines for resuscitation and use of an AED.
