Questions
Conscious Sedation courses, common questions
What training is needed to provide sedation in UK dental practice?
The IACSD standards require accredited theoretical training, supervised clinical cases and appropriate life support training before providing sedation independently. Courses listed here state which standards they meet.
Is sedation training verifiable CPD?
Under the GDC Enhanced CPD scheme dentists need 100 hours of verifiable CPD in each five-year cycle, with at least 10 hours in any two consecutive years. Check that the provider issues a certificate that states the hours, the learning outcomes and the GDC development outcomes it maps to.
Can dental nurses take sedation courses?
Yes. Dental nurses assisting with sedation need appropriate training, and several providers run team courses or a dedicated sedation nursing qualification.
