What makes an excellent working environment? Well, a number of factors will need to be considered, including the opportunities presented for professional growth and development. That’s why – amongst various other valuable offerings – Clyde Munro Dental Group has prioritised education and training for all members of its practices with the dedicated Advanced Dentistry & Clinical Skills Centre.
What’s the goal? To provide all professionals with access to an array of courses that will develop skills, support career aspirations and inspire greatness. This training facility is an investment from Clyde Munro into its people, their futures and the quality of patient care that can be delivered in practices across Scotland. Even in its first year of being established, the centre has already benefited hundreds of individuals keen to advance their knowledge and confidence in a variety of clinical and non-clinical areas.
Ensuring the relevance of topics covered for dentists, the course list has been designed based on feedback from associates. We asked, they answered and we responded. We are also proud to offer training led by some of our own clinicians who have extensive talents and experience in the educational field too. All courses for dentists are offered at significantly subsidised rates, as are programmes for dental nurses, VTs, dental hygienists/therapists and practice managers – with many of these delivered for free.
In 2024, there is a wide range of topics being explored. For dentists, these include endodontics, IPR and retention, pain management, composite veneers, crown prep, oral surgery and CBCT training, with a mixture of hands-on practical courses and theoretical programmes. Dental nurses have gained access to dedicated education in orthodontic photography and impression taking, with all team members benefiting from mental health first aider and safeguarding training.
Aside from the quality and accessibility of the training and education available, Clyde Munro has also created exceptional, purpose-built training facilities which further set them apart in the profession. On the premises, we have a teaching room with nine phantom heads, adjacent to a fully functional dental surgery with comprehensive AV set-up, as well as a CBCT room. This means that there is capacity for clinicians to observe live surgeries from the room or remotely, enriching the learning experience significantly.
To equip this facility, Clyde Munro chose to work with a leading supplier of dental technology that shares the same ethos for clinical excellence – Dentsply Sirona. Already an equipment partner of the group, the company was the natural choice for the facility. Dentsply Sirona’s proven track record is a testament to Clyde Munro’s investment in quality in every area of the business.
Many of the courses are available to professionals outside the Clyde Munro group as well, though our own members receive significant discounts and can access an online portal for easy booking, CPD certificate storage and more.
So, no matter your role in the practice, how long you have been working in dentistry or what your career ambitions are, Clyde Munro invests in you and your future.
