SubjectPreventive dentistry
DescriptionAs dental professionals, we have preventive conversations with parents of young children every day. From our own experiences and clinical research, these conversations can be complex and challenging. This is especially true when parents are resistant to the advice we offer. With COVID 19 pandemic, these conversations are often held remotely. The first three sessions of this course are delivered live online. Over three, 90-minute sessions you will learn the theory of communication skills and behaviour change to help structure effective behaviour change conversations. The sessions will include short presentations given by the researchers from the University of Leeds, Paediatric Dental department as well as interactive activities and group discussions. Session 4 is a small group interactive workshop with the researchers and professional actors. Utilising the theory from the previous sessions, you will be well supported in practising your skills and exploring the methods of having structured behaviour change conversations. These methods will explore conversations that take place both in the surgery and remotely. You will also practice different approaches for parents who are resistant to the oral health messages you give. This is a fun and interactive session and an excellent opportunity to practice your skills confidently with your peers and the research team.
