Human Diseases and Medical and Dental Emergencies - Module 2 for Dental Practitioners

The population of the United Kingdom is living longer and becoming ever more medicalised. Recent surveys have identified that up to 60% of patients attending for dental care have a diagnosed medical condition. The practicing dental surgeon needs to have knowledge of these medical conditions and recognise the impact they may have upon care delivery, as well as make adjustments where the dental care impacts upon medical status. This module will cover the common medical conditions likely to be encountered in dental practice, and emphasise the importance of maintaining a wide knowledge base.

eIntegrity programmes are developed by NHS Health Education England’s e-Learning for Healthcare programme (HEE e-LfH).

The programmes are high quality self-directed learning programmes.  They are designed to support training and CPD and are excellent resources alongside other traditional teaching methodologies.  They have been developed by the UK NHS for use in the NHS.  However, many of the programmes have international relevance, particularly the specialty training programmes which are often mapped to UK specialty training curricula.
