Effective Clinical Note Taking for Dentists, OHTs and Hygienists

A key part of fulfilling your professional obligations is to record and store clinical notes from your consultations. This can help to provide a better, more congruent patient experience as well as protect clinicians if issues arise. Taking effective clinical notes means you can always1ST COLUMN refer back to your observations and recommendations.

This unique CPD training includes two workshops.

The first workshop with Dr Annalene Weston provides a deep dive into the "how-to" of clinical note-taking including general risk management, records, communication and consent.

The second workshop will be hosted by Jeanette Jifkins, who will help clinicians understand their legal obligations when recording patient data and sharing cases on social media.

This training will provide attendees with 2 CPD points.
