Train the Trainer course in Mouth Care for care homes (residential & nursing)

THE COURSE is comprehensive without being complex in detail to cover and reach the oral care needs of your care home/s. The aim is for your trainer to deliver oral care training in a interesting fun way with thought provoking questions, interactive case scenarios and a practical section, all which is optional depending on how your trainer prefers to deliver training.

The allocated trainer will be given a booklet (at home study book) which he/she will be assessed on the training day. The day will be spent with one of our dental care professionals/trainers who will go through the training material and will be expected to deliver a micro teaching session on the training day.

All the necessary paperwork and material will be provided on the day as well as have a mentor available to discuss any oral healthcare questions after the training session.
