Oral cancer: early detection CPD online

Oral cancer early detection is a GDC highly recommended CPD topic because the dental team still changes survival. Incisal’s verifiable course covers extra-oral and soft-tissue examination, red flags, urgent suspected-cancer referral, and the words you use in the chair.

Structured examination so high-risk sites are not missed
Red flags, lookalikes, and when watching is the wrong plan
Urgent referral content that a triage team can act on
For dentists, hygienists, therapists and nurses who see the mouth

Looking is a GDC standard, not a nice extra

Putting patients’ interests first includes the soft tissues on a scale-and-polish visit. Incisal teaching stays practical: sequence, photographs on an approved route, NICE suspected-cancer thinking, and a letter that does not waste a two-week-wait slot.
