PGDip: This programme aims to provide dental practitioners with: a systematic understanding of the theoretical principles that underpin conscious sedation and anxiety management in dentistry; a comprehensive practical understanding of clinical skills in techniques of intravenous and inhalational conscious sedation, as applicable to UK practice in dentistry; an ability to critically evaluate the evidence-base and clinical issues involved in the safe independent practice of conscious sedation to the highest standard.
MSc: This new programme has been designed to provide qualified dental practitioners, who hold the Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Conscious Sedation in Dentistry from Newcastle University, an opportunity to build on the academic skills acquired at Diploma level. The aim of the programme is to deliver training and education in the process of planning, conducting and analysing a research study in the field of conscious sedation in dentistry, with a view to preparing the work for publication in a scientific journal.
