DescriptionPlease join us for a free evening of CPD. It is often considered that the dentist and dental team should be infallible. In a blame culture it can be suggested that because we deal with the most intimate aspects of human life and are given great responsibility in patient care, we should not make errors, and if we do we must be accountable and punished. However, if as a profession we shift our thinking about error to a more positive, constructive approach that is centred around analysing why errors happen, we can then accept our human fallibility and design systems and protocols to prevent errors from occurring. Rupert Hoppen Brouwers (Senior Dento-legal Adviser for DDU) will discuss the prevalence and significance of errors in dentistry with particular reference to wrong tooth extraction, and will offer advice on how we can minimise errors within our own practice teams.
