DescriptionPlease join Amy Hollis, Consultant in Paediatric Dentistry at Bristol Dental Hospital and a Consultant Senior Lecturer at Bristol Dental School for an evening webinar covering medical issues for more complex paediatric patients who may present at our practices. We have all experienced times when a medical history can sound daunting. Amy Hollis will aim to help us to improve medical history taking for paediatric dental patients and identify potential implications of specific paediatric medical histories in primary dental care and recognise when onward referral may be appropriate. This course is suitable for all who are involved in the management of paediatric dental patients as part of their scope of practice but all members of the team are welcome to join.
