Principles of Basic Occlusion (CPD21AUG21)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FACE TO FACE COURSES

Due to recent changes in government guidelines relating to COVID-19 we are in the process of updating our F2F event policy. In the meantime, with the health and wellbeing of our attendees and staff being our priority we would like to recommend the below interim measures whilst we finalise this policy.

In the mean time:

Any delegates with COVID-19 symptoms should not attend a HEE course/event

We recommend delegates should undertake a lateral flow test within 24 hours of the course (this is also a recommendation to our speakers and tutors)

Delegates should bring their own hand sanitiser and practice good hand hygiene

We would encourage you to wear a mask in communal areas and maintain social distancing where possible

The latest government guidance for events can be found here:

We would like to thank you for your co-operation.
