Who is this course for?

This refresher course is ideal for qualified oral health educators who want to update their knowledge, rebuild their confidence, and stay aligned with current best practices in oral health promotion. Whether you have been continuously practising or have stepped away from the role for a time, this course will help you feel re-engaged and professionally current.

It is especially suited to those who:

  • Have not completed any oral health-specific CPD recently.
  • Qualified some time ago and want to revisit the foundations.
  • Have taken a career break or moved into a different role but wish to return to oral health promotion
  • Are newly qualified and would benefit from a structured review to reinforce their learning
  • Need to meet enhanced CPD requirements and demonstrate ongoing competence

As Oral Health Educators, we are expected to maintain our professional standards through regular development. This course supports that by delivering practical, evidence-based content tailored to a wide range of patient groups and aligned with current public health guidance.

Whether you have been in the role for one year or fifteen, this is an opportunity to reset, reconnect and refresh your practice while earning 18 hours of verifiable CPD.
