A formal education and training course that fulfils the mandatory DCNZ requirements for education and training in the Sedation Practice Standard from 1st October 2019. This will enable you to gain certified competency to monitor sedated patients. It is designed for the whole dental team who monitor sedated patients, either with minimal experience or needing an introduction to capnography. It does not teach you how to sedate patients. The course will involve a full day of lectures, demonstrations and hands-on training leading to certification. Participants will gain an understanding of: — The definitions of minimal, moderate, and deep sedation; and general anaesthesia. — That the transition from complete consciousness through the various stages of sedation to general anaesthesia is a continuum and not a set of discrete well-defined stages. — The risks associated with sedation. And deeper knowledge in: — Anatomy and physiology of the respiratory, cardiovascular and central nervous systems in relation to sedation. — How to monitor the sedated patient – physical and physiological monitoring including the central nervous system, respiratory and cardiovascular systems, and necessary equipment – appropriate for the technique(s) and drugs being used, and the intended level of sedation. — How to identify sedation-related complications; and when to advise the ‘sedationist’ or ‘operator-sedationist’ of any abnormalities or concerns, and initiate or assist in the management of a medical emergency.

Dentistry has emerged from a global pandemic in New Zealand as a safe and successful profession for many dentists, who report that practices are busier than ever. The long-term impact of a pandemic remains to be seen. While it may seem that dentistry is bulletproof, will that continue? How do we prepare for a change in global life once the bubble bursts? How do we shift our services to meet the demands…

Dentistry has emerged from a global pandemic in New Zealand as a safe and successful profession for many dentists, who report that practices are busier than ever. The long-term impact of a pandemic remains to be seen. While it may seem that dentistry is bulletproof, will that continue? How do we prepare for a change in global life once the bubble bursts? How do we shift our services to meet the demands of patients at this time. Learn how to maximise an interest in health, wellbeing and self confidence. How do we build value in the eyes of our patients? This programme addresses the opportunities and efficiencies required in any practice, at any time, and even more so when the world faces another shift change as we emerge from COVID. LECTURE: Shifts in general dentistry in post-pandemic times Patients are requiring flexibility. How can we keep offering comprehensive dentistry and provide flexible, staged solutions. Baby boomers have increased their discretionary spending in healthcare and anti-aging. How do we build on the desire for long term, ‘feel good’ and wellness dentistry, at a time when health has never been more valued. Patients are exhibiting some negative health indicators as pandemic stress affects their oral health. How can we create value in our services for longevity-based dentistry, reinforcing the need for continuing care and preventative services.
