Description 

This course complies with the guidelines and criteria as defined by the General Dental Council requirements for verifiable CPD training. This course aims to  deliver awareness information about specialised resuscitation equipment in the dental practice environment. (Please note that it is a requirement that the dental practice provide the practice equipment such as Oxygen cylinders, suction units etc for the purpose of teaching to the delegates therefore this course is more suited to be held in the actual dental practice).

Delegates will also learn the skills and knowledge to deal with  casualties with specific  medical emergencies listed below in a prompt, safe and effective manner in the dental practice setting.   Candidates should have prior knowledge of basic life support procedures such as CPR and Recovery position prior to attending this course.

Important Information

Please note that delegates must be at least 16 years of age and be physically able to carry out the procedures detailed in the course outline and must attend all sessions to be eligible for assessment.

It may be possible to grant a reasonable adjustment for a learner who has a disability, medical condition or learning need: For example, assistance could be given with reading or writing.

Due to the practical nature of the first aid assessment there are physical demands. Learners must be able to get to the floor unaided and successfully demonstrate all required elements of the practical assessment on their own, with the casualty on the floor, as in a real-life situation: For example, a learner will need to get to the floor unassisted and demonstrate effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a manikin at floor level.

If the course organiser has any concern about an attending learner they should contact MEDISAFE TRAINING to discuss before the learner attends the course.

Delegates should have good English literacy and numeracy skills to understand the course and to complete the assessments.
