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. Progress is tracked, making it easy to navigate content, digest information, and resume where you left off should you need to pause your learning.To begin your training, head to:  https://learning.necsu.nhs.uk/
