Clear, dental-specific and straight to the point. The certificate downloaded the moment I finished — exactly what I needed for my CPD record.

As decontamination lead I found the HTM 01-05 content accurate and practical. Used the audit section to tidy up our logs before inspection.

Perfect for my annual medical emergencies update. Aligned with Resus Council guidance and the certificate has everything verifiable CPD asks for.

SM
Sarah Mitchell Dental Hygienist, Brighton · Jul 2026

Solid content for the price. The radiography roles and responsibilities section cleared up a lot of confusion in our practice.

SY
Samira Yusuf Dental Administrator, Croydon · Jun 2026

Quick, verifiable and relevant. I completed three core topics in one weekend and logged them the same day.
