The courses are conducted in Yorkshire which is essentially in the centre of the country, easily accessible by road and public transport. This is therefore attractive for participants attending from all parts of the country.
The facilities selected by the directors include lecture theatres, workstations for practical sessions and clinical facilities for surgical and restorative treatment.

This course covers 12 hands-on modules (usually Friday/Saturday) over 18 months. Modules are based in Yorkshire with visit to a surgical skills training centre (anatomical dissection) in Manchester and a Module at the University of Tuebingen, Germany.
Our 2020/21 course started in March 2020 with an introductory module. Due to the COVID pandemic we will delay all further Modules until September 24th 2020. It is still possible to join our 2020/21 course and you will receive a discount when signing up for the remaining modules.
Preliminary dates for the remaining hands-on modules in 2020/2021. Clinical observation dates are to be decided (usually Thursday afternoon prior to the contact learning dates):
On a Thursday prior to each Module (Friday and Saturday) clinical demonstrations are carried out as well as treatment of patients by the course participants under the guidance of the directors.
An additional day is provided once a week for clinical training (mentoring) of participants who will treat patients for all aspects of implant dentistry.
All clinical cases involve recruitment, assessment and treatment planning, consent and surgical as well as restorative phases of treatment. Monitoring is also carried out by the course participants.
To facilitate this, a free Simplant licence is provided for all participants during the duration of this course.
