Overview
This course invites all staff working within a dental practice to refresh and update their knowledge, management and skills around the patient suffering a medical emergency within their clinical setting.
Early recognition, assessment and management is a key priority of great patient care.
This course has been designed to offer the learner clear guidance on their roles as health care professionals, providing patients with essential airway control, respiratory support and circulatory care in acute emergencies. The objectives also include the use of emergency medications, and specialist equipment to support patient outcomes.
Our courses are delivered at your practice and at a time arranged by yourselves around your busy working hours. The lectures are all registered Paramedics and have a keen interest on sharing their extensive knowledge around these stressful situations.
The course is divided from a lecture to open workstations where the trainer will be able to answer questions and display additional skills for example, airway adjuncts and Bag Valve Mask (BVM) devices, drug preparation and administration.
