Delegates should attend in pairs, ideally dentist and nurse and to gain maximum benefit from the course, should be aware beforehand of treatment for the common medical emergencies seen in primary care, such as faint, asthma attack, airway occlusion, anaphylaxis, myocardial infarct, CVA, hypoglycaemia. Some of these conditions - probably four - will be run on the model for delegates to diagnose and treat.
