The Training The Trainer day has been organised with the theme of "Human Factors" and "Coaching & Mentoring" is suited to the development needs of Educational Supervisors based in primary dental care.

Human Factors

The dental practitioner and the dental team is often considered to be infallible. We deal with the most intimate aspects of human life, and given such responsibility we are not allowed to make an error, and if we do the patient holds us accountable.

If however, as a profession, we shift our thinking about error, to a more positive, constructive approach that is centred around analysing why errors happen, we can then accept our vulnerability and design systems and protocols to prevent errors from occurring.

Professor Wright and Dr Hoppenbrouwers discuss the prevalence and significance of errors in dentistry, and with the aid of real life litigation cases offers advice of how we can minimise errors within our practice teams.
