1. What are the CPD requirements for a dentist providing sedation?
The specific standards reference is IACSD guidance 2020 page 23:
For revalidation in a sedation technique, a practitioner must undergo a minimum of 12 hours of continuing professional development every 5 years that are relevant to the techniques practised. This applies to dentists, medical practitioners, recovery nurses, dental care professionals and all members of the team providing conscious sedation. Practitioners not regularly practising a technique must consider either the need for mentoring and/or retraining or discontinuing its use.
