Course: Dental Foundations – Interprofessional training

Location: IM3 Training Centre Drogheda, Ireland.
Aim:
This is a two day in-person training session hosted at the IM3 Training centre in Ireland, led by highly experienced Linnaeus dentists and RVNs. Throughout the course we will explore how interprofessional teamwork can support the delivery of high-quality dental care (with an appreciation that this looks different across Europe due to national and local legislation).
There will be theory and practical sessions covering dental radiography from the basics through to advanced views and interpretation, local anaesthetic techniques and both closed and surgical extraction. We will also discuss common complications and how to handle them.
