You've been redirected to Dental Protection from The Young Dentist website. We recently merged The Young Dentist with its parent site www.dentalprotection.org. You'll find all the same information here, but also benefit from further help and advice provided by the wider Dental Protection site.
The site's search features will allow you to find information specific to your field and requirements, covering everything from Publications and Case Studies, to Conferences, e-Learning and membership information. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us on [CONTACT EMAIL].
Optimise your essential communication skills and reduce your risk by taking part in one of our half-day workshops led by our experts, along with your dental peers.
Our face-to-face workshops have been developed by experienced dentists and recognised experts.
These workshops can be accessed and attended by members at no extra cost, and earn you 3 hours of CPD.
Our face-to-face workshops feature short presentations, reflective exercises and small group facilitated discussions around a variety of topical risk management subjects and issues.
Attendees are invited to actively engage in the conversations and activities to enhance their learning and positively impact interactions with their patients and colleagues.
It is easy and convenient to participate in our face-to-face workshops. With a choice of venues nationwide, you can network with your peers in person.
We are currently only offering very limited numbers of face-to-face workshops and therefore you may not find anything available to book at this time. If you are looking for a live event, you may find more availability within our webinar and virtual workshops which are running on a more regular basis.
The importance of well-organised dental records, to aid continuity of care and ensure good practice.
How to recognise, recover from and prevent burnout.
The skills to communicate with patients should they suffer an adverse outcome during their care.
How to conduct conversations to reach the best healthcare decisions for patients.
A solution-focused approach to difficult clinical interactions which improves patient safety, clinician wellbeing and reduces the risk of a complaint or claim.
Proven ways to reduce your exposure to litigation and complaints, through improving communication with patients.
All you need to do is either log in to our online learning hub or activate your account if you haven’t already.
All in-person workshop places are limited and it’s not possible for the workshop presenters to cater for members who do not book a place in advance.
The course materials are only an addition to the face-to-face workshop and not a replacement for it. They don’t contain the videos, exercises or speaker’s notes that are vital parts of learning. This means the course materials are only for those who attend and can’t be sent out or made available online.
If you believe that you’re going to be late, we’d recommend that you register on another date. The introduction to each session is important for the messages later. Most colleges require proof from us that you’ve attended the complete workshop and may take into consideration any discrepancies between attendance-register records and time claimed.
Our in-person workshops are extremely popular, and with limited spaces available they can book out within a very short time. Members are encouraged to log in to our online learning hub regularly to see what professional development courses are available.
If you give us notice or if an emergency arises (either private or patient) we won’t charge you. However, we do reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee to attendees who don’t contact us about their inability to attend (before or after the event), particularly if this happens on more than one occasion.
Dental Protection won’t charge you for parking. However, the venue where the workshop is being held may charge a fee to use their car park (if available). This is at the discretion of the venue, so we advise you to check before you travel.
We don’t, because we believe that most members would agree that the reimbursement of other members’ travel expenses isn’t a good way to use their funds.
Not at present. Our range of dentist-led professional development training (included in your membership) is designed to reduce your risk, better protect your career and improve patient outcomes.
You'll notice a few things have changed on our website. After asking our members what they want in an online platform, we've made it easier to access our membership benefits and created a more personalised user experience.
