Summary
This programme is for dental practitioners wishing to develop competence, knowledge and skills to feel confident in the provision of conscious sedation and anxiety management. It will allow you to gain experience with intravenous sedation and your knowledge will be developed through distance learning modules and study days.
Clinical skills will be acquired during supervised clinical placements in Bristol (Emersons Green) for Oral Surgery patients, and as you progress through the certificate you will gain a greater understanding of pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain and anxiety control.
The Anxiety Management unit will provide you with a knowledge and critical understanding of the theoretical framework that underpins cognitive therapy, including self-help and behavioural approaches.
You will have 20+ mentored cases to become an accredited sedation provider in as little as 5 days. Immediate life support training is also included as part of this programme.
Students are offered the opportunity to combine this programme with the Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Oral Surgery to graduate with a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Oral Surgery, Clinical Conscious Sedation and Anxiety Management.
