Attend this webinar hosted by ADOHTA QLD Branch featuring our guest speaker Dr Martin Webb.

Professional communication is becoming an important focus by the Dental Board when they are investigating a complaint against you by a patient. This presentation will demonstrate how effective clinical communication strategies can mitigate the risk of a patient making a complaint and also help you with managing that complaint to hopefully avoid that turning into a legal claim or an AHPRA investigation. Examples and case studies will be shown to demonstrate how the DBA deals with issues around communication for dental practitioners.

• 1hr scientific CPD.
• Members and non-members welcome. 
• Webinar link will be emailed on 22 April 2025.
