Overview
Key facts
More and more patients are presenting for treatment with complicating factors in their medical history. We'll discuss the impact of medical history on dental treatment and any action needed as a result.
We'll look at the common medical problems that all clinical staff are faced with, and revise the protocols and best practice requirements for these groups.
University College London (UCL) offers the Managing the Medically Compromised Patient (for Dental Hygienists and Therapists) programme.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Importance: I am not a doctor, why do I need to know?
- Prevalence of medical problems: how likely is it that I'll see a patient with a medical problem?
- Risk assessment: to treat, wait or refer?
- Pain and anxiety control: what can I do to reduce risk?
- Patient access and positioning: before I book an appointment what do I need to consider?
- Treatment modification: adapt or stop?
