Compliance
For doctors and departments providing sedation, the October 2013 guidelines Safe Sedation Practice for Healthcare Procedures by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, establish and define required standards and guidance for sedation practice. These guidelines were updated in February 2021 and reinforced the need for training and adequate patient preparation and monitoring.
Compliance requirements include the requirements of a sedation policy, audit, logbook, committee and specific training for physicians, nurses, ODPs, physician assistants and other healthcare professionals involved in sedation.
In dentistry the IACSD standards of April 2015 set out the guidelines and practice for dentists, doctors, dental hygienists/therapists and dental nurses who have no previous experience in conscious sedation.
