About this course

This course covers the possible dangers that you could come across and how with basic good practice you will keep safe and increase the trust with your clients.

If you are working in the dentistry industry, you will need to have an understanding of many different aspects of infection control to keep you and your clients safe. Blood Borne Pathogens can be spread with needles and other items of equipment you use and there is a requirement to have basic training in correct infection control technique.

This CPD course meets the criteria for the GDC’s development outcomes C.

If you require a classroom course, we can adapt this course to your requirements and add other courses like Basic Life Support for Dentists and teach them both on the same day.

To make sure you really learn and retain the information, test questions are randomised. A video review following the final assessment is customised to support a thorough understanding of each topic
