About the academy

It is the Academy's belief that post graduate teaching in the UK needs to be dragged up to date to ensure we are not left behind. As a profession we need to be able to confidently offer the most up to date treatments to even the most demanding patients

Purely Practical

When choosing to embark upon a post-graduate training course it is important that you find the right one to invest your time and money into. We have all, at some time, sat through lectures that have cost us hundreds of pounds but have proved to be inconsequential. After the first couple of hours the mind invariably drifts to the realm of daydream, as the eyes become tired of staring at a power-point presentation and the ears become tired of being talked at. We are dentist's, we choose a practical profession which involves using our hands! The Academy recognises this and believes that you will gain the most knowledge and experience when you let your hands do the learning.

Let your hands do the learning

All of our courses are as practical as possible, whilst also providing the academic foundations for you to base your practical skills upon. It is unrealistic for our delegates to be given little knowledge then expect them to learn how to correctly practice high end dentistry.

Continuity

Another attribute of the Academy is the continuity it offers. Delegates undoubtedly benefit from the continued relationship with Dr Hargreaves as he is available every session to discuss ongoing treatment plans and experiences of trying the new techniques you have learnt in practice.
