From myth to management: understanding Legionella risks in dental settings

15 May 2026
Dental Nurses' Forum
B , C

Learning Content

Attendees will explore common “dental fairy tales” — from flushing routines and temperature control to testing and documentation — and learn how these compare with evidence-based guidance and regulatory expectations.
Designed to be practical and proportionate, the session translates national guidance and CQC expectations into clear, achievable actions for busy dental practices. By the end of the course, delegates will be confident in identifying gaps in their current approach, avoiding common mistakes, and improving Legionella controls that protect patients, staff, and the practice.

Aims

The aim of this training is to clarify common misconceptions and “dental fairy tales” surrounding Legionella management in dental practices, provide practical, evidence-based guidance aligned with national standards and CQC requirements, and enable dental teams to identify gaps in their current approach while avoiding common mistakes.
