✅ First Aid Training & Legal Compliance for Dental Practices

 

Dental practices are legally required to ensure their teams are trained and prepared for medical emergencies. Our training helps you meet the following key regulations:

• Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981
  Employers must provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities, and personnel to ensure employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work.

• Care Quality Commission (CQC) Requirements
  The CQC expects dental providers to ensure that staff are trained to deal with medical emergencies, in line with Resuscitation Council UK guidelines.

• General Dental Council (GDC) Standards
  Dental professionals are required to keep their knowledge and skills up to date, including CPR and medical emergency training.

• Resuscitation Council UK Guidelines
  Recommends that all clinical staff should be trained in basic life support annually.
