GDC Scope of practice

Principle 1: Put patients' interests first.
Standard 1.5.3: You must follow the guidance on medical emergencies and training updates issued by the Resuscitation Council (UK).
Principle 6: Work with colleagues in a way that is in patients' best interests.
Standard 6.2.6: Medical emergencies can happen at any time. You must make sure that there is at least one other person available within the working environment to deal with medical emergencies when you are treating patients. In exceptional circumstances, the second person could be a receptionist or a person accompanying the patient.
Standard 6.6.6: Medical emergencies can happen at any time in a dental practice. You must make sure that: there are arrangements for at least two people to be available within the working environment to deal with medical emergencies when treatment is planned to take place; all members of staff, including those not registered with the GDC, know their role if there is a medical emergency; and all members of staff who might be involved in dealing with a medical emergency are trained and prepared to do so at any time, and practise together regularly in a simulated emergency so they know exactly what to do.
