Managing Self: Preparing for Practice
Section 10: GDC Preparing for Practice
Welcome to our Managing Self course, carefully created by University clinicians and educators to align with Section 10 of the GDC's 'Preparing for Practice' document.
The course focuses on the critical aspects of self-management in patient care, as specified by the GDC. You'll learn how to prioritise and protect patient interests while effectively managing your time and resources within the dental practice. A key aim is to help you understand the importance of personal behaviour and its impact on the healthcare environment and wider society.
We look into the significance of leadership and advocacy in dental practice, equipping you with the skills to act as an advocate for patient needs and to recognise the range of skills required for effective management and leadership roles.
Professional development and compliance are other vital areas covered in this course. You'll be guided on how to engage in continuous personal development, reflective practice, and ensure that all aspects of your practice comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
