How can Blue Stream Academy support my dental CPD?

The new dental package includes 4 individual Legal and Ethical Issue eLearning modules, 5 Radiography eLearning modules, training on Decontamination of Dental Instruments, a module for Dental Erosion and Tooth Wear, and a An Introduction to Personal Development Planning (PDP) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) eLearning module.

How can Blue Stream Academy support my dental practice?

The Dental eLearning and Management platform not only hosts a range of state-of-the-art Dental eLearning modules, but also a built in Management platform. With over 12 years healthcare reporting experience, Blue Stream Academy’s Management system contains an efficient reporting section, a dynamic external training upload option, complete user and organisation personalisation, and much more.

How can the Blue Stream Academy’s Management platform benefit my dental practice?

  • Save administration time and provide an organisation wide overview of compliance through 18 automated training, policy, and compliance reports. Each report can be filtered to suit the unique requirements of each organisation, downloaded to Excel for digital sharing, or printed straight from the system.
  • Optimise policy management with a digital policy library. Upload your organisations policies, attach them to relevant training modules, and set mandatory staff requirements. Once setup, you can track compliance with our real-time policy reports to set staff reminders and increase policy uptake.
  • Manage face-to-face training sessions with the accessible booking system – simply upload your face-to-face training sessions, set availability, and staff limits, invite staff or allow them to book on, and send out post-training resources and certificates, all without a single piece of paper in site.
  • Create a 360 approach to eLearning and external training tracking with integrated external training tracker. Upload external training completions alongside retake requirements and evidence of completion to produce a complete overview of organisational training progression and compliance. Staff can upload their own external training course completions and submit the record for validation/approval, or system administrators can upload this on their behalf for immediate reporting possibilities.
  • Increase staff training engagement through completely customisable training profiles for every job role and staff member. Ensure your team are only assigned the training that they require, increasing motivation with concise training plans and optimising trainee satisfaction with ongoing CPD progression tracking on a user and administrator level.
  • Support smooth organisation operation with built-in room booking, diary management and videoconferencing options. Easily collaborate with peers the same whether they’re in the same room and building, or across the world via a straightforward and secure videoconferencing link.
