SDCEP Updates Key Resources for Dental Care and Infective Endocarditis Management
The Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme (SDCEP) has released updated editions of two critical resources: 'Antibiotic Prophylaxis Against Infective Endocarditis' and 'Management of Acute Dental Problems'. These updates aim to assist oral healthcare teams in managing patients at increased risk of infective endocarditis and provide guidance for acute dental issues. The resources emphasize shared decision-making and are endorsed by several UK cardiac societies. The updated guidance is available on dedicated websites, offering tools and advice to healthcare professionals across various settings, including general medical practice and emergency departments.
