Abstract
Medical emergencies can occur in the dental practice. The posters 'Medical Emergencies in the Dental Practice' and 'Emergency Drugs in the Dental Practice' have been designed to help dental care professionals to respond effectively and safely to a medical emergency. They have been updated and completely revised in line with current national guidelines and recommendations. The 'Medical Emergencies in the Dental Practice' poster is available as an insert in this issue of the British Dental Journal. Both posters are available to download from https://www.bda.org/advice/Pages/Patient-care.aspx.
