Safe Dental Sedation Course Part 1 & 2

The Safe Dental Sedation Course Part 1 & 2  is aimed at dentists and dental nurses working in dentistry. It provides the knowledge and skills required to practice IV moderate sedation for dental procedures in adults.

Part 1 consists of the theoretical knowledge needed to improve sedation practice. Learning outcomes include:

• preparation and administration of sedation using a structured approach;
• monitoring a sedated patient;
• managing complications and safe discharge post sedation.

Part 2 consists of the practical component using high fidelity simulation.  You will be able to choose from several course dates available:

• • 24 January 2026 (London)

In order to proceed to Independent Clinical Practice, practitioners who have learnt a new technique should obtain evidence of satisfactory completion of the required number of supervised clinical cases for the newly learnt sedation technique(s) by a STAC approved Supervisor:

• Once you identify your supervisor, complete your supervised cases and keep a logbook.
• Suggested logbooks (as well as DOPs and the Supervisor application form) are available on this page of the STAC section of the English College website. Supervisor Approval (STAC) — Royal College of Surgeons
• The trainee’s STAC approved supervisor should subsequently confirm the completion of the supervised cases to a standard that enables the supervisor to confirm a trainee’s suitability to go on to independent practice.  This confirmation, at the very least, should be an email that confirms the completed number of cases, the sedation technique and agent in question, and when the supervision took place.
