Book trainingDental practices are workplaces like any other under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981: the practice must provide adequate first aid for its staff, decided by a needs assessment. That duty covers everyone, including receptionists, practice managers and decontamination staff, not just clinicians.
Dental teams also have separate expectations for medical emergencies training, set out by the General Dental Council and in Resuscitation Council UK's quality standards for dental care. Workplace first aid sits alongside that; it does not replace it. We train your team in Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) on site, up to 12 people per session.

Practices usually focus on patient medical emergencies, and rightly so. The workplace first aid duty is easier to overlook: a receptionist who faints, a staff member who cuts themselves in the decontamination room, a colleague who collapses in the staff room. Your needs assessment should name who deals with those, and they need to be trained.
Non-clinical staff are often the gap. Reception and administrative teams may not hold any first aid qualification, yet they are frequently the first to reach a person who collapses in the waiting area. Training the whole team together closes that gap and gives everyone the same shared approach.
Inspectors and auditors look for evidence. Three-year certificates for every delegate and a clear record of who is trained make your workplace first aid arrangements easy to demonstrate, alongside your separate medical emergencies records.
Who we typically train in Dental practices
A typical booking is a practice training its whole team, clinical and non-clinical, in Emergency First Aid at Work in one day, scheduled around a closed session or a quieter clinic day.
CPR and defibrillator training for the whole dental team
CPR and defibrillator use are at the heart of Emergency First Aid at Work. Every member of your team, from the dentists and nurses to reception and decontamination staff, practises chest compressions and rescue breaths on manikins and uses a defibrillator trainer, in your own surgery.
For practices that want a shorter, focused session, we also deliver Basic Life Support and defibrillator training on site, priced on request. Drug-based medical emergencies, such as the use of oxygen and emergency medicines, remain part of your separate dental medical emergencies training.

The whole practice team
Clinical and non-clinical staff trained together, so first aid cover never depends on who is chairside.
CPR and AED skills
Hands-on CPR and defibrillator practice, the core skills in any emergency, drilled in your own practice.
Clear, honest scope
Emergency First Aid at Work meets the workplace first aid duty. We will always be clear that dental medical emergencies training is a separate requirement.
Recommended courses
The one-day Emergency First Aid at Work course suits most dental practices for the workplace first aid duty. It is not a substitute for the medical emergencies training dental professionals are expected to complete.
Emergency First Aid at Work (1 day)
£645 per session for up to 12 staff
CPR, Defibrillator and Anaphylaxis (3 hours)
£415 per session for up to 12 staff

Dental practices first aid training: common questions
Does Emergency First Aid at Work count as dental medical emergencies training?
No, not on its own. It meets the workplace first aid duty for your team under the 1981 Regulations. Medical emergencies training for dental professionals is a separate expectation; check the General Dental Council's guidance and Resuscitation Council UK's quality standards for what your team needs.
Do reception and admin staff need first aid training?
Your needs assessment decides how many first aiders you need, but training non-clinical staff helps make sure cover does not depend on clinicians who may be with a patient when someone collapses.
Can you train us in our practice?
Yes. We deliver on site, usually in a staff room or waiting area outside clinic hours, and bring all equipment.
