A new training tool for dental professionals
Our aim
Utilising actors and dentists as training tools, Dental Roleplay provides a safe and constructive
environment in which dental professionals can experiment with different
approaches to patient and staff interaction, without judgement or expectation.
Dental Roleplay is a series of corporate roleplay workshops devised and delivered by Healthcare Interact, a corporate roleplay company devised and facilitated by professional actor/dental surgeon Dr Adam Porter BDS BSc. (Hons) and delivered with professional actor/educator Hannah O'Leary, along with other acting colleagues.
Adam Porter acts under the stage-name Adam Timms (Equity name).
Dental Roleplay has provided its unique brand of training in-house for over 150 dental practices in Wales.
Dental Roleplay has provided communication skills workshops for all of Wales' Dental Foundation Training Schemes, as well as GPT and Equivalence training groups.
