Legislation and Resources


All dental care professionals are required to update their medical emergency training annually as required by the General dental council. This must be at least 2 hours every year and 10 hours every five year cycle.


Dental practices must adhere to CQC regulations to ensure their practice is prepared and equipped to competently manage a medical emergency. Both the General Dental Council and CQC endorse the guidelines set out by the resuscitation council.

"Training should be highly rewarding,

memorable, inspirational and fun too!.."

"The last thing anyone who trains people wants to do is take you back to those long boring lessons at school! What we train people to do might one day turn out to be the difference between life and death,

we firmly believe if the training experience is informal, factual but interesting when it comes to learning how you cope with an emergency in your surgery, hopefully the training will have been memorable enough to trigger remembering the correct procedure"
