DescriptionPart 1. Flying high with patient safety. During the last 30 years, the aviation industry has massively reduced the frequency of disasters. We'll explore how the lessons they've learned relate to maintaining a patient safety culture in your own dental practice. The vast majority of aviation incidents are linked to significant human factors that contribute to things going wrong and indeed many of the errors that take place in dentistry are for the very same reasons. This section of the day will examine; 12 key procedures and practices that contribute to patient safety. How crew resource management in aviation and dentistry can reduce errors, adverse outcomes and accidents. The use of patient checklists in practice to help you avoid getting blown off course. Part 2. The principles of professionalism and ethics for dental teams will be discussed. We'll examine closely a wide range of situations that occur in a modern dental practice and how these can be dealt with in a professional and competent manner aligned to current GDC standards.
