This course prepares Registered Dental Nurses for the University of Liverpool Conscious Sedation for Dental Nurses examination. This course builds upon the knowledge, skills and clinical experience you develop in assisting in the care of sedated patients in your work place. The course will be held in the Education Wing of University of Liverpool Dental School, between January 2025 and June 2025, and consists of 6 study days, the provisional dates for which are as follows:

• Friday 17th January 2025
• Friday 14th February 2025
• Friday 14th March 2025
• Friday 11th April 2025
• Friday 16th May 2025
• Friday 13th June 2025
• Friday 11th July 2025 – Exam date

It is strongly recommended that delegates attend all study days in order to be prepared for the examination.

This course is demanding, but rewarding, and will require the delegate to invest a considerable amount of time in personal study and preparation work. Regular revision is required over the 6 month period leading to the University of Liverpool examination. Delegates will need support from the clinical teams with whom they work.

You will be required to compile and maintain a Clinical Portfolio. You will be required to assist during various aspects of Intravenous and/or Inhalation Sedation (depending on your clinical situation and course requirements) under supervision by a suitably qualified GDC registrant. They will be responsible for assessing your ability to carry out various tasks either in your own dental clinic/practice, or at another sedation practice and providing feedback on your development. You must also have a designated mentor from within your practice, who will be able to offer support and advice during the course, and who can help with access to the relevant clinical experience. It is a course requirement that you have a valid ILS certificate for the duration of the course.

If you cannot confirm guaranteed IV/Inhalation sedation placements, giving details of the practices in your application form, your application for this course will be unsuccessful. Frequent access to managing patients under Inhalation sedation and/or IV midazolam sedation is mandatory. The Dental School cannot arrange for this chair side clinical experience. Application packs will be sent out following the open evening in SOctober 2024.

The course fee is £885. However, if the practice/clinic, in which you are employed, treats predominately NHS patients and is located within the boundaries of NHS England North West, there is a subsidy of £210.00 towards your course fee by NHS England. This reduces the fee to £675.00.
