Abstract:

On the morning of Tuesday, 21st June 2005 an audience of approximately 150 attended the launch of the Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK)'s Key Skills in Primary Dental Care e-learning programme. This package consists of seven modules each of which deals with a skill that is fundamental to the safe practice of clinical dentistry, not just in primary care, as the title suggests, but all areas including primary and secondary care. The package is available as a series of seven CD-ROMs or online at a protected website.

The seven key skills are:

• Infection control.

• Legislation and good practice guidelines.

• Clinical record keeping.

• Team training.

• Radiography.

• Risk management and communication.

• Medical emergencies.

The launch consisted of a series of short presentations followed by a question and answer session.
