The Dentistry (e-Den) elearning programme is undergoing a full review to ensure that the sessions remain valid and in line with current best practice guidance.
The original e-Den programme was created in late 2009 by the Faculty of Dental Surgery of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and NHS England’s elearning for healthcare (NHSE elfh). The objective was to deliver a high quality, interactive, online learning solution for new dental graduates, which they can make use of throughout the two year Foundation programme. It can also be used as a point of reference throughout their dental careers.
The elearning programme has 13 modules with 320 sessions that are currently undergoing a full review to ensure that the sessions remain valid and in line with current best practice guidance. To date, 113 sessions have now been successfully reviewed and updated with 207 sessions remaining to assess.
The sessions reviewed to date now include:
- e-Den Module 1 – Patient Assessment
- All sessions
