Mouth Cancer CPD Module

23 October 2013
Volume 29 · Issue 9

November is Mouth Cancer Action Month and ahead of it, the Association of Dental Groups (ADG) is launched a CPD module focused on the early detection and treatment of the disease at the BDTA.

With 6,539 new cases annually and death rates remaining consistently high, the ADG, which represents UK corporate dental groups, is supporting the British Dental Health Foundation, the organisers of Mouth Cancer Action Month, through a range of initiatives across the UK. This new module will be a powerful new tool for improving knowledge and raising awareness.

The interactive online module will be available free to all dentists and oral health professionals in the UK. Dentists who also wish to apply for a CPD certificate upon successful completion of the two hour long module can do so for just £25 +VAT, £5 of which will be donated to the British Dental Health Foundation and the Mouth Cancer Action Month campaign.

David Worskett, chair of the ADG, said the ADG was proud to be providing an education tool for the campaign which could make a genuine difference.

Mr Worskett added: “There are approximately 3,500 dentists working within the ADG members’ practices, equating to approximately 10 per cent of the country’s dental surgeries. We are therefore in a unique position to be able to raise awareness amongst the profession about the disease and fortunate that IDH have been generous enough to develop this module on behalf of the ADG.”
