Think of a live webinar as similar to attending a lecture but without having to travel. The format is similar, with a presentation followed by a question and answer session. However webinars offer some additional facilities that are not available in traditional lectures that make them more interactive and less formal.
What subjects and for whom?
The topics are mainly clinical, but with some business and personal development too. We include the core recommended subjects.
The monthly evening sessions are primarily aimed at dentists, though many are also relevant to other members of the team (for example the core recommended subjects and business development).
Verifiable CPD
Webinars meet the GDC requirements for verifiable CPD:
- Clear learning aims, objectives and outcomes so that participants know exactly how each webinar will help to develop and improve their own CPD
- An evaluation is completed after the event so participants are able to comment on the experience and help us to improve the quality of our services
- A certificate is available to download on completion of the evaluation

Unlike conventional lectures we include a recording for 7 days or until the on-demand version is published, which ever is sooner. This is ideal if you were unable to attend the live event or wish to review the presentation.
On-demand webinar
The live event is edited and converted into an on-demand version. This includes CPD questions, a discussion forum and links to related resources. The on-demand webinars may be purchased individually or are included with our annual subscription bundles.
