The Irish Dental Council requires that all dentists carry out Continuing Professional Development in Medical Emergencies including Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPD).  This is one of three areas  in which the Dental Council expects all dentists to be proficient and recommends at least 10 hours training in every 5 year cycle.  See IDA guidelines here.

While the Dental Association offer training in CPR at a cost of €195 per member participant and €390 for non-members, Frontline Medical, experts in CPR training, can offer the same course, delivered at your surgery, for only €120 per participant (provided a minimum of 5 attendees).

• This course meets all CPD requirements
• Qualifies for 4 hours of verifiable CPD
• Course delivered by qualified and experienced First Responders
