SUMMARY:Dental CBCT Levels 1 & 2 - April 2025
DESCRIPTION:Cone-beam CT is an exciting development in dental and maxillofacial imaging\nHowever\, the previous guidance on the safe use of dental x-ray equipment does not address CBCT as the radiation protection measures needed for this modality extend beyond the previous guidance. \nThis 3 day course run in Newcastle by Dr Neil Health\, Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologist has been validated by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons (Glasgow) in order to match the recommended hours for Level 2 reporting. \nIf delegates have recently received a certificate for Level 1 then they can attend days 1 and 3 only\, if they wish. These delegates can attend the second day of the CBCT course (2a) as it builds on the first day and more workshop elements are included to maximise CBCT teaching and reporting in the time available.  \nDates\nDay 1:   Tuesday 15 April 2025\nDay 2:   Wednesday 16 April 2025\nDay 3:   Thursday 5 June 2025 \nLegal requirements\nA dentist referring for CBCT is legally required by the Department of Health to have undertaken ‘Core Training in CBCT’ as outlined in the HPA-CRCE-010 report. This CBCT training is additional to that already required as part of the Continuing Education and Training in radiology and radiation protection. \nIn line with this report\, practices owning a CBCT unit or wishing to make referrals for CBCT examinations should ensure their staff are trained in the CBCT Core Curriculum. \nThis unique Specialist Consultant taught course offers a three day interactive educational experience focusing on the theory behind the safe operation and referral for CBCT (Level 1) and image reporting (Level 2) of both 2D and 3D imaging\, primarily for smaller volume CBCT. \nCompletion of this course equips the practitioner with the knowledge required to comply with their responsibilities according to IRMER (Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations). \nCourse description\nWe offer a number of options ranging from the full\, combined three day course\, to individual sessions. You can book a place on the full three-day course below\, or you can contact our team to explore your options by email nuth.newcastlehospitalsskillsacademy@nhs.net \nOur combined three-day course builds from the first presentation. Full attendance is required to allow certification. Day 3 provides candidates with the opportunity to gain guided practical experience\, and time to reflect on learning before completing the course. \nDays 1 and 2 (15 and 16 April 2025)\nCovers Level 1 and 2A course material (this allows didactic\, group work  and interactive workshop elements throughout). \nDay 3 (5 June 2025)\nLevel 2B covers essential material after delegates have gained practical experience and had time to reflect on their learning\, before completing the course. \nA learner / delegate-centred approach is adopted throughout\, allowing delegates to understand the theory behind the safe operation and referral for CBCT (IRMER Referrer role). \nAn holistic approach to Image reporting (IRMER Operator Reporter role) covering 2D and 3D imaging primarily for smaller volume CBCT is offered. \nLearning outcomes\nThe course is delivered in two sessions – initial 2 days followed by a separate final day a few weeks after the first 2 day session to allow reflection and utilisation of new skills. \nAt the end of this course delegates will be able to: \n\nMake safe CBCT referrals with a sound understanding of the Physics / Radiation dosages involved and the patient factors to consider before utilising this 3D imaging modality\nAppreciate when 2D and 3D CBCT imaging are best used and how to access guidelines in this regard\nRecapitulate knowledge of 2D dental imaging and learn the anatomical patterns associated with CBCT 3D presentations to know what ‘normal’ looks like\nAppreciate the Radiation safety (IRMER and IRR legislation) surrounding the use of CBCT\nOperate / ‘Drive‘ CBCT viewing software –  utilise MPR screens to interrogate the full FOV\nSafely analyse and construct a smaller Vol CBCT report using ‘protocols’ (utilising taught higher order thinking tools ) in a systematic fashion and know when to ask for help\nAnalyse examples of concerning dental/maxillofacial disease presentations and know how best to refer on urgent cases. Recognise bone diseases and especially cancers on imaging\nAnalyse relevant 2D and 3D image data and construct a recordable imaging report/assessment\nBegin to understand how image reporting errors / imaging pathway adverse events can occur and appreciate how SOPs\, Bias and Human factors can influence this process.\n\nCourse lead\n\nThe course is run by Dr Neil Heath\, a Consultant Dental and Maxillofacial Radiologist at Newcastle Dental Hospital. \nAn experienced educator in CBCT working in NHS\, academic and industry sectors\, Dr Heath is passionate about delivering relevant enjoyable courses\, to like-minded colleagues. \nAudience\n\nDentists (hospital and high street – primary care and specialist)\nMedically qualified specialists involved in imaging the maxillofacial regions.\n\nCriteria\nIn order to book on this course you will need: \n\nGDC / GMC registration (HCPC registration if a Radiographer)\n\nFinancial information\nIf you are employed by Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust\, you can use the coupon code NUTH at the checkout to make a provisional booking and you will need to arrange access to in-house development funding.
