Description
Over the last few years there has been a move to using peripatetic sedation services to provide sedation services in primary care. This can be particularly helpful for more complex dental procedures as it allows the operator to concentrate on the dentistry. But how do you find the right sedationist for your patients.
How do you know they will provide sedation in compliance with guidance ensuring safeguarding for yourself and your practice against liability?
Alternatively you maybe thinking about providing sedation services. How do you ensure the practice will provide the right environment and the team who will work with you? What issues might arise?
This webinar will be interesting and informative for everyone involved in primary care sedation and also offers the opportunity to ask questions.
