North & North West Tasmanian Study Group Meeting

Course Information

The patients we encounter in day-to-day practice are becoming more medically complex. Patients are living longer, but often with the burden of more chronic disease and more medical intervention. Recognising this complexity and working through it to provide safe and appropriate treatment can present a challenge for the dental clinician. How do we know what’s relevant? And how do we keep up when the medicine is evolving so quickly? This course aims to provide dental practitioners with key skills to accurately assess and integrate medical information into dental care. The presentation will feature practical information, simple templates for communicating with medical practitioners, and real life patient cases, which can be applied to your practise to optimise patient safety and overall health outcomes. There will be opportunities to ask questions of the presenter during and after the presentation, and group discussion is welcomed.
