Mission...why I founded Dental Sedation Courses?
from our course lead Dr Andrew Jones
"I founded Dental Sedation Courses in 2016 so that dentists, dental nurses and their teams had a solution to both train in intravenous or inhalation sedation and fully implement sedation into their everyday dental life that was easily accessible to all. We not only provide the theory courses, fantastic experienced mentoring clinics and travelling sedation mentors BUT we also provide you with the sedation resources and advice needed to safely provide and continue to provide sedation in your clinics across the UK (and Ireland). What started with just myself has quickly grown into a widespread network of like minded dental sedationists and their teams collaborating and supporting new learners and each-other!

Current Training Guidelines/Standards
England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland
In case you are a little unsure as to which guidelines you should be following whether you are in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland we have summarised the answer here:
The Intercollegiate Advisory Committee for Sedation in Dentistry (IACSD) guidelines came out in April 2015 (UPDATED 2020) with the aim of creating a UK-wide guideline document for conscious sedation in dentistry; this was soon implemented by NHS England and underwent a review process by the Chief Dental officers and assigned bodies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. (It could not be implemented simultaneously in all countries of the UK as a result of the devolved nature of the health service)
In Scotland the The Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme (SDCEP) 2017 sedation guidelines are followed which reflect the IACSD guidelines in almost all aspects and in terms of training guidelines refer directly to the IACSD document. In Wales the IACSD guidelines alongside the SDCEP 2017 guidelines are also followed and training guidelines refer directly to the IACSD document again.
In Northern Ireland as of November 2022 they follow the SDCEP guidelines as above.
