Description

The Campbell Academy's flagship Year One Implant Course is a 12-day course that has helped hundreds of UK dentists begin their implant careers, and now it's available in Scotland.

Since 2015, The Campbell Academy has provided extensive implant dentistry courses for general practitioners in Nottingham; now also bringing the same opportunity to Scotland.

Our Year Implant Course is a clearly designed and developed, straightforward implant course based on the well-accepted ITI guidelines. It provides various educational opportunities to enable general dental practitioners to confidently assess, plan, and execute straightforward implant cases.

Delegates will have the opportunity during the clinical days to place dental implants on patients at Wrights Dental, Dundee & Atelier Dentistry in Glasgow and will be followed through their journey to ensure they reach a situation where they’re confident to begin their surgical and restorative implant careers.

This allows practitioners to begin their implant journey in a safe and secure environment.

The resources available for this course enable a range of educational interactions, including peer-to-peer education on an innovative online discussion framework, integration with the ITI curriculum, face-to-face teaching, practical exercises, live surgery, and mentoring.

Through the amazing support of our partners, Wrights, and our Clinical Director of Education for Scotland and Ireland, Professor Colin Burns, we can offer the same fantastic introductory course in implant dentistry in Scotland as we do here in Nottingham.

Key features of the course

1. Exceptional clinical faculty from academic and practice backgrounds to provide the broadest possible range of educational opportunities.
