The IAS Academy is delivering the new Complete GDP course, in collaboration with Dr Ian Buckle, enabling dentists to improve their ability to examine, diagnose and treatment plan. The course will provide the knowledge and training needed to provide patients with functional and aesthetically-pleasing results, promoting a holistic and long-term approach.
The course is split over three comprehensive two-day modules and participants can expect lessons in 2D treatment planning, smile design basics, how and when to mount models (analogue and digital) and using splints, to name just some examples.
Dr Chris Dakin is involved in presenting the programme and explains why he’s happy to support
“I was delighted to be involved with this course, having worked with Ian Buckle and the Dawson Academy over the past 10 years. I believe in the philosophy of complete dentistry, and feel that the new courses bring a more modern and digital angle to the time-tested principles that we have taught in the past.”
Reflecting on the goals of the course and how it’s going so far, Chris states:
“The main goal of the course is to help improve the examination and diagnostic skills of the dentists who attend, and to give them a treatment planning framework to help them plan and subsequently manage cases effectively in general practice. As a result, I would hope that dentists will feel much more confident in these areas, and in their ability to treat more complex cases. It will also highlight that occasionally, cases which are apparently straightforward can be more complicated than they first appear.
“The first two modules have gone well – we have been happy from a teaching standpoint and the delegate feedback has been good.”
Every dentist strives for patient satisfaction, and the course offers an impressive arsenal of learning and implementation tools to build confidence in achieving excellent clinical outcomes. The programme is suitable for any dentist looking to improve their abilities, as Chris explains further:
“I would recommend the programme to any dentist in general practice who wants to improve their ability to examine, diagnose and treatment plan.
“It’s for anybody who wants to become a really good GDP and offer a higher level of care for their patients. It would also be suitable for those wanting to learn more about digital dentistry, and how digital records (or digitisation of more traditional analogue records) can make it easier to engage with patients and implement high quality care in a predictable way.”
