Medical emergencies support from dbg

In November 2013, the Resuscitation Council UK launched new guidance focussing on quality standards for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training. However it has recently become clear that The Resuscitation Council now no longer provides advice on general medical emergencies within Primary Dental Practice settings.

Thankfully, dbg is here to help. Dbg has been working alongside dental practices for 25 years, providing invaluable help and support in areas ranging from engineering services to materials, compliance, and core CPD training.

To help practice teams keep up to date with the latest medical emergencies protocols, dbg has appointed medical emergencies expert Craig Nelson to join the compliance team.

Craig is a highly experienced Emergency Medical Paramedic and has delivered lifesaving emergency support to over 30,000 patients across a career spanning 21 years. Craig is also an IHCD qualified tutor, and for the last 8 years has dedicated himself to the education and training of ambulance paramedics and other medical professionals to ensure they deliver the highest standard of emergency care.

As dbg’s ‘Resuscitation Officer’ Craig will be utilising his extensive experience to help shape dbg’s medical emergencies and AED training. He will also assist members in light of the change in medical emergencies guidance standards, ensuring that all dbg members remain compliant through the introduction of new and innovative training content.

With dbg you can be sure that your training will be of the highest quality, with relevant and engaging content from professionals who are acknowledged experts in their field. This training will take place at your practice, and will give your team ‘on-site’ training on CPR, emergency drugs, equipment and up to date legislation. The trainer will also carry out and audit, and provide recommendations as per the Resuscitation Council guidelines.
