Continuing Professional Development

As a dental professional, you have a duty to keep your skills and knowledge up-to-date.

Whatever the regulations for continuing professional development and CEU, registered members of the dental team will find that Dental Protection has a number of ways in which it can provide support.

Personal development helps you to create patient safety and excellence in dental practise and should be viewed as a long-term investment in your career and development.

Dental Protection has an established policy of providing educational resources, with the aim of preventing avoidable harm to patients and reducing risk to members. Our educational services are here to help you and the dental team improve patient safety and reduce risk. With more than 120 years of experience supporting and defending dental healthcare professionals, we have a unique insight into why things go wrong and how complaints and litigation can arise.

Using this knowledge we have developed a range of educational support for your career. There is also an opportunity to obtain verifiable certification for your participation.
