The team have just completed a morning of in-house training today. Paul took the reins and gave detailed presentations on Health and Safety and Fire Safety. We also reviewed the General Dental Council Standards for the Dental Team. Every three months we set aside a morning for staff development to ensure we operate safely and comply with all the latest legislation, and train staff members in all relevant practice policies and procedures. 

Chris, Judith and Lucy have just completed an excellent day's training called 'Medical Emergencies in General Dental Practice' at Glan Clwyd Hospital. We refreshed our knowledge and skills, learning how to recognise and manage medical emergencies that could present in our dental practice. These included updating our CPR techniques and use of our automatic defibrillator which we have in the practice in case of a sudden cardiac arrest. Essential skills for us to have, but fingers crossed we'll never need to use them!
