Questions
The GDC recommends at least 10 hours of medical emergencies CPD in each five-year cycle, with at least two hours every year. Resuscitation Council UK guidance also expects annual practical training for the dental team.
Medical emergencies is a recommended topic for every registrant, and CQC expects all clinical staff to be trained. Many providers deliver the session in practice so the team trains as it would respond.
Online modules cover the theory and count as CPD, but the practical skills, airway management and use of the emergency kit need hands-on practice. Most practices combine both.
