GP Virtual Training Module
Oral health as a brief intervention is also available via e-learning. The module presents the learning through a variety of media and promotes a flexible, convenient and interactive way of assimilating the information. Video content complements interactive audio/visual demonstrations of the concepts within the training. These demonstrations are backed up with supporting information and links to other resources or those wanting to investigate specific topics further. The module is broken down into short sections.
