- Standards 6.2: You must be appropriately supported when treating patients.
- Standards 6.6.6: Medical emergencies can happen at any time in a dental practice.

- All members of staff, including those not registered with the GDC, know their role if there is a medical emergency.
- 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.
