New date for the London Course
September 2022
All the 2021 courses
(12 in London and 1 in Glasgow) are FULLY BOOKED.
Our first seven courses in 2022 in London are also FULLY BOOKED

This 2-day intensive course is aimed at general dental practitioners interested in enhancing their surgical skills and improving their confidence to allow them to tackle cases, that would have been referred elsewhere to be treated.
The main focus is on the hands-on component using custom-made models incorporated into a state of the art facility using phantom heads to mimic real-life patients. Delegates will be using water-cooled handpieces similar to what is used in practice. NO animal heads are used on the course.
Places are limited to 10 participants/course
The course will attract 16 hours verifiable CPD that fulfills all four learning outcomes of the new GDC CPD guidelines.
