Course Overview

Our Medical Emergencies and CPR for Dental Practices course is designed specifically for dental teams, combining Basic Life Support, AED training, oxygen administration and emergency drugs awareness into a single, focused session built around the medical emergencies most commonly encountered in a dental setting.

The course is available in two formats: an Adult Course (4 hours) for practices treating adults only, and an Adult & Paediatric Course (5 hours) for practices treating both adults and children. Both formats are delivered on-site at your practice or at an arranged venue.
