New modules have been added to the Eastman Dental elearning programme offering UK NHS dental teams a range of clinical and non-clinical content to upskill and inform clinical practice.
The new modules are:
- Restorative-based elearning: A series of 5 topics designed for early dental practitioners and the dental team.
- Core Learning Series for Dental Care Professionals: Three courses covering radiology, photography, and oral health, with opportunities for knowledge enhancement.
The elearning, created in partnership between Eastman Dental Hospital Education Centre and NHS England’s Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) team, is available on the elearning for healthcare (elfh) Hub and aligns to the Advancing Dental Care (ADC) agenda.
The training offers dentists, dental nurses, hygienists, and other dental professionals easy access to tailored, interactive learning based on the latest techniques and evidence. It is designed to elevate expertise and proficiency, build confidence in daily clinical practice and balance learning against the professional demands of a busy schedule.
Existing modules on the programme are:
- Child focused dental practices (CFDP): A series of 11 webinars focussing on the treatment of children and young people with tips and guidance on tools and techniques that can be used in general dental practice.
- General Dentistry e-learning: This series of 13 webinars provides guidance on the assessment, diagnosis and management of patients with general oral diseases. Each session provides up to date information on current thinking and management.
The elfh Hub is free for NHS staff. Each completed session provides certification of continued professional development and learners can complete an evaluation survey to help inform future training needs.
