Dental Sedation Courses offer high quality, readily accessible Conscious Sedation courses and Relevant CPD training to Dentists, DCPs and Dental Nurses delivered by experienced sedation providers throughout the UK and Ireland. We aim to reduce the barriers to high quality training in order to ensure safe, accessible and affordable conscious sedation can be made available to all patients in primary care hence reducing the dependence on hospital care for these services. Our courses follow the latest IACSD 2015 guidelines (and updated SDCEP guidelines) in every aspect and have been fully accredited by either the IACSD via the Royal College of Surgeons or the NEBDN for dental sedation nursing. Our Blended learning course format for all of our courses enables you to complete the entire course from your home and/or dental practice saving expenses and most importantly your time. All Courses have been split into online theory and skills training followed by mentored supervised practice in your own surgery (with the exception of refresher courses which are usually completely online theory and skills). We are fortunate to have the availability of a training centre where dentists and therapists are able to complete their mentored cases on patients that we provide; this can be arranged on an individual basis

What Are The Latest Training Guidelines ?

The Intercollegiate Advisory Committee for Sedation in Dentistry (IACSD) guidelines came out in April 2015 with the aim of creating a UK-wide guideline document for conscious sedation in dentistry; this was soon implemented by NHS England and underwent a review process by the Chief Dental officers and assigned bodies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. (It could not be implemented simultaneously in all countries of the UK as a result of the devolved nature of the health service)

In Scotland the The Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme (SDCEP) 2017 sedation guidelines are followed which reflect the IACSD guidelines in almost all aspects and in terms of training guidelines refer directly to the IACSD 2015 document. In Wales the IACSD guidelines 2015 alongside the SDCEP 2017 guidelines are also followed and training guidelines refer directly to the IACSD 2015 document again.

In Northern Ireland currently the IACSD 2015 guidelines are yet to be fully implemented and so the Department of Health's advice is to continue to follow the ‘Minimum Standards Dental Care and Treatment’ (NI), 2011. Especially relevant are Standards 8.6 & 12.1-4. and ‘Conscious Sedation in the provision of dental care’, Standing Dental Advisory Committee report, Department of Health, 2003. As a result the training requirements are not quite as strict as those in the other UK countries but they are similar in terms of the need for both adequate and specific theory and mentored practical training as well as appropriate life support training.
