P105 Using IOTN and a Simple Flowchart to Establish If a Patient Qualifies For NHS Orthodontic Treatment

This webinar is the first in a series of 5 webinars designed for General Dental Practitioners, but especially suitable for recently qualified dentists and those new to working in UK general practice. 

The course will boost your skills in orthodontic diagnosis and referral. It will also demonstrate what orthodontics can offer you and your patients, by providing you with an overview of the scope of contemporary orthodontic treatment, including ‘quick’ orthodontic systems. 

This webinar will look at using IOTN and a simple flowchart to establish if a patient qualifies for NHS orthodontic treatment.

Speaker: Nigel Fox

Orthodontic demand is growing all the time. It is useful before a patient is referred to an orthodontist to be able to advise the patient and parent whether or not they are likely to qualify for NHS treatment or not. The aim of this webinar is to teach dentists how to use a simple flowchart that will enable them to establish whether or not someone would qualify for NHS treatment prior to referral. It’s not designed to give a comprehensive knowledge of IOTN as this is not possible via a single webinar and is not the aim of the lecture. It is designed so that the flowchart can be used during a routine dental examination and should only take a few minutes. This is an interactive webinar with participants taking an informal self-assessment during the presentation to check their understanding of key parts of IOTN.
