All modules are delivered at our convenient central London location, providing easy access for professionals across the city and beyond.
Programme overview
The Return to Practice with Confidence programme provides a comprehensive pathway for clinicians to refresh and update their skills. Each module focuses on key aspects of modern dental practice, including clinical techniques, ethical considerations, and professional standards. Participants benefit from interactive lectures, practical demonstrations, and hands-on workshops tailored to support a smooth return to practice.
