Verifiable CPD assessment with aims, objectives and outcomes.
The GDC highly recommends that every registrant completes at least 10 hours of medical-emergencies CPD per five-year cycle, with a refresher every year. This annual update covers the emergencies that actually occur in dental practices — syncope, hypoglycaemia, anaphylaxis, asthma, angina and cardiac arrest, seizures, choking and adrenal crisis — and the whole-team response each requires.
Aligned with Resuscitation Council UK guidance, the course walks through the ABCDE approach, the emergency drugs and equipment every practice must hold, and the roles of reception and admin staff when the emergency bell rings.
This online module covers the knowledge component; practical BLS/CPR skills must be practised hands-on with a trainer.
Issued the moment you complete the final module. Every certificate lists the course aims and objectives, anticipated learning outcomes, the quality-assurance process and 2 CPD hrs — the elements the GDC requires for verifiable CPD. Non-registrants can use it as CQC training evidence and for appraisals.
