Aims

The aim of this course is to develop the learners’ ability to recognise, assess and manage medical emergencies - adults and paediatrics - in the primary care dental setting.

Objectives

1. To provide training in how to perform an urgent care assessment of an ill patient.

2. To outline processes and procedures to recognise, manage, and where required provide, basic and immediate life support for medical emergencies.

3. To outline the emergency drugs and equipment that should be held by dental surgeries.

4. To explain the team approach to medical emergencies.

Learning outcomes

1. Identify severe medical events which require urgent hospital admission.

2. Recognise, manage and provide basic and immediate life support for medical emergencies, in line with UK Resuscitation Council guidelines.

3. Identify, prescribe and administer - where appropriate - emergency drugs correctly.

4. Facilitate a team approach to medical emergencies so as to deal promptly with uncommon but potentially tragic events.

5. Recognise how to operate oxygen cylinders safely, and identify if any local action or action plan is needed so as to reduce the risk of death and severe harm from failure to obtain and continue flow from oxygen cylinders (as recommended by NHSI Patient Safety Alert NHS/PSA/W/2018/001 )
