The General Dental Council (GDC) recommends that all dentists and dental care professionals carry out verifiable Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in three core recommended subjects. First Aid for Life courses can directly contribute to the 10 hours per CPD cycle required for medical emergencies, as well as fulfilling the recommendations from the Resuscitation Council (UK).
We offer specific courses designed for Dental Professionals delivered in 3 hours that cover: Emergency Life Support (ELS), Recovery position, Anaphylaxis and acute allergic reaction, the importance and use of an AED (Automated External Defibrillator).
