Agilio Software, the UK’s largest provider of healthcare operations software, has significantly enhanced its market-leading iLearn platform by adding more than 100 new clinical courses to boost training capacity for dentists and meet all Enhanced Continuous Professional Development needs in one place.

The new offering, iLearn Pro, will provide users with an extensive collection of over 100 courses authored by more than 200 leading industry experts, including Finlay Sutton, Amin Aminian, and Professor Ross Hobson.

Delivering over 175 hours of CPD, iLearn Pro covers 18 popular clinical specialisms, including restorative, implants, endodontics, orthodontics and facial aesthetics, with more courses to be added.

Upon the release of the new Pro tier, 100,000 existing customers of iLearn will automatically be subscribed to the iLearn ‘Essentials’ offering, which will retain the functionality and course library that they have become accustomed to. This means users can still access iLearn’s 230+ courses, including General Dental Council (GDC) “recommended” and “highly recommended” courses, while an additional 100 courses will be available when they either upgrade to iLearn Pro or purchase on a Pay As You Go (PAYG) basis.

New iLearn Pro customers will have access to all of iLearn Essentials as well as the new Pro tier to access the additional clinical courses.

Agilio used its recent acquisition of ProDentalCPD to permit iLearn users greater access to a broader range of clinical content and video-based eCPD courses while a fully comprehensive set continues to be provided by ProDental. Further recognising that clinical topics in dentistry are subject to continuous change and advancement, the courses will be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure accuracy and relevance.

In response to the increasing need for convenient access to high-quality clinical content, Agilio has created iLearn Pro; a subset of the ProDental content. This tailored solution is designed to meet the specific requirements of dentists, providing them with a wide array of specialised clinical courses. These courses are aimed at enriching their professional knowledge and skills, all within the familiar iLearn platform. Notably, iLearn already boasts a user base of 20,000 dentists out of the 44,000 registered with the General Dental Council (GDC).

David Fraser, Agilio’s head of clinical development (dental), commented, “At Agilio, we understand that life-long learning is one of the pillars of personal development, employability, and competitiveness, which is why we endeavour to make the CPD journey as efficient and effective as possible for all dental staff.

“iLearn Pro is a significant addition to our dental education ecosystem; it enables clinicians to access an online course library that is greatly diversified, delivered in both traditional and video formats, meaning that people are free to complete their CPD in their own time and in a way that suits their learning style. With iLearn Pro, we aim to bridge the gap in clinical education and bring the industry’s entire eCPD efforts under one digital roof, providing dentists with the specialised knowledge they need to excel in their practice and allowing practices to reap significant time and cost savings.”
