As approved ESs at some point over the past few years you will have attended the 4 day Developing Dental Educators Course. HEIW recognise that we need to be ensuring the knowledge and tools to help ESs become confident and excellent mentors should be revisited and updated on a regular basis. In conjunction with HEIWs Dental QI team we are pleased to be offering a 1-day DDE refresher course for all existing ESs to attend in the Autumn. It is the expectation that this session and should be completed every 3 years, to be eligible for re-approval. ESs will receive 2 sessions towards their ES sessional Commitments for attending the session. Further information regarding this session will be made available over the next few months.
