Review and updates to the Dentistry (e-Den) elearning programme

Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) have been working with The Faculty of Dental Surgery of the Royal College of Surgeons of England to complete a full review of the Dentistry (e-Den) elearning programme.

The original e-Den programme was created in late 2009 with the objective to deliver a high quality, interactive, online learning solution for new dental graduates, which they can utilise throughout their 2 year Foundation programme and also use as a point of reference throughout their dental careers.

The elearning programme has 13 modules with 320 sessions that are currently undergoing a full review to ensure that the sessions remain valid and in line with current best practice guidance. To date, 68 sessions have now been successfully reviewed and updated with 252 sessions remaining to assess

The sessions reviewed to date include:

• • e-Den Module 3 – Anxiety and Pain Control in Dentistry
    • All 33 sessions
  • e-Den Module 9 – Removal of Teeth
    • All 29 sessions
  • e-Den Module 10 – Communication
    • 10_01 Communication and Treatment Planning
    • 10_07 Communicating with Professional Colleagues
