INTRODUCTION

The National Course in Conscious Sedation for Dentistry is both suitable as an introduction to postgraduate education in sedation and also as a refresher for practitioners wishing to remain up to date with current techniques and contemporary teaching. The programme offered changes frequently to meet the needs of practitioners both within practice, the Community Dental Service and secondary care.

Practitioners are encouraged to enrol their dental nurse on the parallel programme as conscious sedation provision is essentially a team activity.

SAAD’s teaching is provided by a faculty of the best known names in dental sedation within the UK .

Our course provides a sound foundation in basic conscious sedation techniques. It also investigates the challenges of less commonly used techniques in the UK and those used in other countries.

SAAD is well known for providing entertainment as well as sound education. This course provides an investment for patients and enjoyable continuing professional dental education for practitioners and dental nurses.
