Medical Emergencies, CPR, BLS


Dentaljuce's module on Medical Emergencies in Dentistry, including CPR and BLS, is an essential course designed for the entire dental team.

In an era where more patients are on complex medication regimes and medical conditions are increasingly managed in outpatient settings, the likelihood of a medical emergency occurring in a dental practice has grown.

This course comprehensively covers the very important skills and knowledge needed to address such emergencies, from understanding CQC requirements and effective use of emergency drug kits to mastering CPR and airway management techniques.

The course spans a wide range of urgent scenarios including adrenal insufficiency, allergies, anaphylaxis, asthma, and more, complete with practical training videos for defibrillator and AED use.

Whether it’s handling cardiac events, managing respiratory crises, or dealing with acute injuries like bleeds, burns, and sprains, this course prepares dental professionals to respond confidently and competently, ensuring patient safety and optimal care during emergencies.

If you're not yet a member of Dentaljuce, we highly recommend you to join and gain access to our comprehensive course on medical emergencies.

This course, along with over 100 other CPD courses, is available for a single membership payment.
