Course Summary

You'll gain the knowledge and skills necessary to use intravenous and inhalational sedation techniques on a wide range of anxious patients, including adults and children.

Overview

The Conscious Sedation in Dentistry PGCert aims to provide you with:

  • a systematic understanding of the theoretical principles. This will underpin conscious sedation in dentistry and the care of patients undergoing sedation.
  • a comprehensive practical understanding of clinical skills in intravenous and inhalational sedation techniques, as applicable to UK practice in dentistry

The programme is one of the few in the UK that provides dentists with Level 7 PG Certificate training in sedation. We provide students with hands-on clinical training. You gain the key knowledge base and skills in conscious sedation required to practice conscious sedation as an independent practitioner.

Our Careers Service

Our award-winning Careers Service is one of the largest and best in the country, and we have strong links with employers. We provide an extensive range of opportunities to all students through our ncl+ initiative.

Modules

The aim of this module is to provide a systematic understanding of the selection and assessment of patients for sedation, the management of clinical care and safety of the patient during sedation and in the peri-operative period. This section also aims to provide a critical evaluation of guidelines on sedation and medico-legal issues that are important in clinical sedation practice.
