CPD for the whole team | British Dental Journal

Are you looking for verifiable continuing professional development (CPD) hours for your dental practice team? The _British Dental Journal_'s (_BDJ_'s) sister publication _Vital_

offers two hours of verifiable CPD per issue, or eight hours per year. The _Vital_ verifiable CPD scheme is available to all dental care professionals (DCPs) and offers CPD in the core

topics recommended by the General Dental Council (GDC) over the five-year CPD cycle. In 2011 CPD topics covered in _Vital_ articles included medical emergencies, decontamination and

radiography. In the latest issue (spring 2012) there are CPD articles on detecting oral cancer and on child protection. CPD multiple choice questions on these articles are available until

just before the summer issue is published in June 2012. It is free to register on the _Vital_ website and access all articles from 2003 to present at www.nature.com/vital. A subscription to

_Vital_ CPD can be purchased for individuals via the site, with one year (eight hours of CPD) costing £30 + VAT which equates to less than £5 per hour of verifiable CPD. Participants can

save or print their CPD certificates directly from the site. DCPs can also include reading past articles from the _Vital_ archive in their general (non-verifiable) CPD.
