The clinical content of the programme includes: management of patients with complex medical problems; simple and complex extractions; management of the complications of oral surgery; surgical removal of roots and unerupted teeth; management of wisdom teeth and odontogenic cysts; and the diagnosis and management of facial pain. Your clinical knowledge and skills will be underpinned by an understanding of the latest evidence-based-practice and clinical guidelines. Your understanding of research methods and interpretation of research data will be enhanced through tutorials and seminars, equipping you with the skills to produce your own independent research dissertation.
Design and provision of a modern clinical service requires a deep understanding of the principles of clinical governance, including clinical audit. On this programme you will learn how to apply the audit cycle to your own clinical practice and compare your outcomes to the best available standards. You will also gain experience in application of service improvement methods. These techniques developed in other industries but have been adopted widely by healthcare providers.
