Important documents were issued to delegates at the recent SAAD conference in September now available on-line: Only "A Guide to Maintaining Professional Standards in Conscious Sedation for Dentistry" need concern dentists, who only provide the newly classified "Level 1" sedation techniques, which include RA, IV with Midazolam, Oral Sedation or Intra-nasal Midazolam.
This document specifies the key areas of training and update required and it stipulates that those already providing Level 1 conscious sedation techniques should update every 5 years.
If a GDP or indeed a competent DCP attends one of my one-day courses, it will provide 7.5 hours vCPD of the 12hours required every 5 years. The other 4.5 hours can be made up at other meetings or journal questionnairres, for example, over 5 years. Not an onerous task.
If there is a demand I can also run a 1/2 day, (4 hours of vCPD) strictly for those already using RA.
Contact me richard@the-ra-coach.co.uk to discuss.
