The posters ‘Medical Emergencies in the Dental Practice’ and ‘Emergency Drugs in the Dental Practice’ have been designed to help dental professionals to respond effectively and safely to a medical emergency. These posters, endorsed by the British Dental Association (BDA), are included with this article. Further copies can be downloaded from: https://www.walsallhealthcare.nhs.uk/medical-education.aspx.
