Course Overview

Teledentistry has been gaining much interest by the profession for some time and especially so in today’s climate. The advances of online video sharing technologies with the ability to use existing patient management tools has meant that patients can now be given long-distance advice for several routine conditions. 

It will never be a replacement for the thorough oral examination comprising of a full mouth periodontal and radiographical assessment including hard and soft tissues examinations, however, it can be very useful to help diagnosis and triage patients in pain and those seeking advice.

Several companies are offering teledentistry and this webinar recording is by one system currently used in Australia which could be adopted to use in the UK. 

This webinar covers the Rules and regulations of teledentistry and incorporates the basic technology requirements and the workflows needed for a successful teledentistry set up.

Please note, 4everlearning seeks to host interesting courses from International course providers. 4everlearning does not have any commercial interest in the companies mentioned and is not affiliated to them in any way.

Course Summary

This tutorial on creating Champions League winning dental teams is kindly provided by Chris Barrow from his Extreme Business Academy.

In his 20+ years of working with dental clients he has observed that less than 5% have reported their team are on the bus and on fire.He spends much more time dealing with the consequences when one or more team members are creating more problems than solutions.

Have you ever been in that situation?In this tutorial Chris looks at 5 essential steps in creating a Champions League team:

– Assessing Performance and Behaviour and making decisions based on your conclusions;

– The ideal schedule for team communications;- How to replace appraisals (a chore) with the Personal Progress Interview (PPI) (an opportunity);

– The importance of the daily huddle in team spirit;

– Using Edward de Bono’s “6 thinking hats” to engage your team in the big decisions that matter.

Along with a 50-minute video from Chris, you can access his Powerpoint slides and 6 PDFs to share with your managers and team from the resources provided in the course module.
