We run dental sedation courses for dental practitioners. Plus we provide advanced and update dental sedation courses for those already using sedation.


Comprehensive Course in IV Sedation

Where: Hilton Hotel, Princes Wharf, Auckland
When: 18-19 May 2019
Fee: $1,550 including GST

This is a course for dentists who wish to undertake a training program in IV Sedation. We strongly encourage you to bring your appropriate staff members too as IV sedation is a team procedure.

The program is for dental practitioners with minimal or no previous experience in IV sedation and those who have previously provided IV sedation, but do not have certification. You must have been graduated for at least one year or hold a current hospital house surgeon position. The training program will meet the requirements of the NZDA Code of Practice for IV Sedation.

The course will involve a 2-day program of lectures, demonstrations, simulated IV experience, practical venepuncture training and an examination.

The NZDA require Core immediate or equivalent training.

Then to gain certification you will be required to…

  1. Observe 3 clinical cases of IV sedation with a mentor who is a member of the NZSSD.
  2. On receipt of a letter confirming your observations, you will be required to pass online Safe Sedation Training.
  3. Once you have successfully completed SST, you will be issued with a certificate in IV sedation.

You will be notified when you are accepted on to the course, then you will be posted the course manual 4 weeks prior to the course. You must be familiar with this prior to the course. Please allow time to study this as you must achieve a 75% pass mark.

Please make your own arrangements for transport and accommodation.

Cost $1,550.00 including GST, and your first year of membership of NZSSD.
