This training course, which has been designed for any dentist to attend, focuses on key areas of professionalism which dentists encounter daily, both at work and in their private lives. The aim is for delegates to develop a greater understanding of their responsibilities and the common areas in which doctors can find themselves in difficulty throughout their career.

The day will be divided into five topic areas: personal and professional boundaries, ending professional relationships, personal conduct, raising concerns about self and others and regulatory and legal duties of candour.

Within these topic areas a variety of issues will be explored including:

personal relationships
acceptance of gifts
ending your relationship with a patient
refusal to treat
managing your online presence – personally and professionally
maintaining equality and fairness in colleague interactions
promoting a culture of openness
responding to concerns

The sessions will vary and include presentations, group discussion and case studies. Speakers include senior risk adviser, Liz Price.

Accreditation for 5.5 hours (2 sessions) has been applied for from NES.
