Dental CPD by DentalVets

We provide courses for vets and nurses in our own referral clinic. These courses are designed for small groups and are highly practical. Your practice can arrange specifically targeted CPD for a small, focused group or a larger, general group. In addition, delegates can book singly. These are run monthly in North Berwick. Foundation course concentrate on essential skill that vets and nurses require to provide up to date dentistry in their own practice including dental radiography, extraction technique, oral surgery using mucogingiva flaps etc. Certificates of attendance are provided and detailed written reports are sent to the practice afterwards to list achievements and reinforce recommendations. The course brochure can be downloaded via the link on the right sidebar.

Advanced courses will be available on request for those individuals who already possess the basic skills of the foundation course.

See below if you require local accommodation. We can assist with this and try to ensure that delegates are booked into the same hotel or B&B if preferred. E-mail Kath in our office. for further info.
North Berwick is 30 minutes from Edinburgh by train or car. The airport is 45 minutes away and is served by all the low cost carriers in the UK. The nearest main-line station is Dunbar. We can advise best travel options and arrange local (cheaper) taxis to pick up and drop off at the airport. For groups this is very inexpensive.

A testimonial article by John Bower BVSc MRCVS ( ex president BVA and BSAVA) whose Plymouth veterinary hospital has used our courses since 1992 was published in Veterinary Times. A copy is attached to the FAQ sheet.

In addition we have testimonials from many satisfied delegates who often say this is the best day's CPD they have ever attended.

Costs are £450 plus VAT per vet and £265 plus VAT for nurses. Discounts are available for practices that book exclusive days and our poicy is to allocate 25% of places free of charge to practices that refer regularly.

North Berwick is an ideal family location with beach, sailing, bird watching, golf and fishing all available locally.
