[Category 1] Dentistry’s Role & Mandates in Abuse Recognition and Domestic Violence Prevention

January 27, 2023 1:30 PM - 09:30 PM (GMT)

Did you know, dentistry's scope, role & responsibility extends beyond just comparing ante & post mortem x-rays. This course will discuss the importance of all DHCP’s legal role & responsibility to organizations that cover local, provincial, national & international Laws & Acts plus ramifications for not abiding by these governmental and RCDSO Acts. Protocols on the “how to” of releasing DHCP records to the proper authorities in civil, community mass casualty events or criminal cases are key but also knowing who are the ‘proper authorities’?

Most important is the recognition of suspected injuries & patterns in abused & trafficked patients then how to collect evidentiary clinical and/or digitised (recordkeeping) information on suspected victims of abuse or violence. That is as easy as asking 4 simple “Yes’ or ‘No’ questions.

PLEASE NOTE: Attendee discretion is strongly advised due to mature content and graphic material that may be disturbing & upsetting for some viewers.
