Questions
Practice Management and Communication courses, common questions
Do communication courses count as verifiable CPD?
Yes, when the provider issues a certificate with learning outcomes and hours. Communication maps to GDC development outcome A, and the GDC highly recommends CPD on complaints handling, legal and ethical issues, which many of these courses cover.
Who are practice management courses for?
Principals and practice managers running a team, and associates who want stronger treatment planning and case acceptance skills for private dentistry.
Are these courses online or in person?
Both. Communication skills courses are often in person with role play, while management and business modules are frequently online. Each listing states the format.
