| | Learning outcome |
|---|
| 1 | Embed ethical, legal, regulatory, and culturally safe practice in specialist oral surgery care by managing consent, documentation, privacy, and clinical governance responsibilities, and by addressing ethical dilemmas in complex cases |
|---|
| 2 | Lead advanced patient- and family-centred communication in complex oral surgery contexts, including shared decision-making, risk communication, breaking bad news, and coordinated handover/referral with multidisciplinary teams |
|---|
| 3 | Apply and evaluate non-technical skills (situational awareness, decision-making under pressure, teamwork, and human factors) to reduce error and improve safety across the perioperative oral surgery pathway. |
|---|
| 4 | Diagnose complex oral, dentoalveolar, and maxillofacial presentations by synthesising advanced history, examination, imaging and pathology findings to generate differentials and justify investigations |
|---|
| 5 | Design and deliver comprehensive surgical and non-surgical management for complex oro-facial conditions (including medically compromised and trauma patients) by integrating perioperative risk optimisation, multidisciplinary coordination, and complication management |
|---|
| 6 | Lead recognition and management of perioperative medical and surgical emergencies in oral surgery by applying advanced clinical reasoning, pharmacological interventions, procedural skills, and escalation/transfer protocols |
|---|
| 7 | Manage acute and chronic orofacial pain conditions by integrating evidence-based assessment, diagnosis, pharmacological and nonpharmacological strategies, and interdisciplinary referral pathways |
|---|
| 8 | Critically appraise and generate evidence to advance surgical dentistry by designing and conducting a supervised research or scholarly project, applying appropriate research methods and ethics, and disseminating findings to inform practice |
