Electives
Dental Protection is the only UK-based protection organisation that operates internationally and so we are in a unique position to support you, wherever you go in the world.
Electives can be an exciting time but if you are going abroad you also have to be prepared for the challenges that can present, for example, communication and cultural differences, different standards of risk managment and infection control and adapting to time challenges.
As a student member we offer you:
- Full indemnity worldwide
-
24-hour international emergency dento-legal helpline
-
Indemnity for Good Samaritan acts
