Hosted by Peninsula Dental School, University of Plymouth, this GDC-recommended CPD course equips dental professionals with essential knowledge and skills in decontamination, disinfection, and sterilisation. In line with the Standards for the Dental Team and the GDC’s Enhanced CPD scheme, the course emphasises the importance of effective infection control to protect patients and the dental team. Participants will learn to distinguish between decontamination, disinfection, and sterilisation, understand the use of relevant equipment, and apply best practices in clinical and decontamination room settings. Guidance from Health Technical Memorandum 01-05 (HTM 01-05) and GDC Development Outcome C are embedded throughout the course. To complete the course and receive a certificate, participants must pass a self-paced quiz designed to assess their understanding. By the end, learners will be better prepared to uphold high standards of safety, care, and professionalism in dental practice.
The Future Climate Leaders course is designed to equip learners with the skills, tools and knowledge needed to drive sustainability within their organisation. It prepares learners to be proactive, informed and influential in tackling environmental challenges, making them champions of a sustainable future. What you'll learn Through an innovative, science-based curriculum, inspiring case studies and hands-on environmental challenges, learners will explore the levers of climate change, develop sustainable leadership skills and discover how to implement practical solutions for a healthier planet and a thriving organisation. By the end of the course, you will have a well developed sustainability project ready to implement as well as a robust action plan, leadership skills and a recognised certification that underscores your expertise and commitment to climate leadership. This course aligns with UNESCO competencies for sustainable leadership.

In this module you will use speculative design approaches (practices such as design fiction, critical fabulation and imaginary media) to explore and critique the implications and applications of ‘emerging technologies’. This term includes technologies that have been developing for some years but are now ‘emerging’ into mainstream usage, and technologies at the very cutting-edge of research and development – things that are becoming possible; or things that are not-yet possible (but soon will be – for example, science fiction).
This module introduces you to creative coding practices covering a variety of topics, from computer-driven design to generative animations, working with media objects and building interactive experiences from the ground up. Learners will be introduced to the foundations of creative programming from a visual perspective and a range of creative coding strategies will be explored in depth, using the p5.js programming framework, with the view of creating technically, aesthetically and conceptually sophisticated applications. Previous programming experience will be extended into more advanced topics through experimentation with a wide range of tools that form part of modern integrated development environments. Technical and conceptual skills will be developed in order to experiment and innovate with live media systems, interactive computing and audiovisual technologies. With a view toward creating interactive artworks and software-mediated experiences, students will be guided through the use of computer programming as a medium for creating engaging digital experiences that show elements of real-time transformation, interactivity and responsiveness.
