About this programme

The EduQual Level 7 Diploma in Oral and Positive Health is an innovative programme that explores the powerful connection between oral health, lifestyle medicine, and positive psychology.

Designed for dental and healthcare professionals, this diploma is particularly beneficial for those who want to move beyond a traditional, treatment-focused approach and develop a deeper understanding of the person behind the patient.

Throughout the programme, learners gain the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to apply lifestyle medicine and positive psychology principles within everyday practice. You will develop a broader understanding of the factors influencing health, including lifestyle, behaviour, stress, nutrition and wellbeing, while learning how these can connect with oral health.

Learners will gain greater confidence in having meaningful conversations, supporting behaviour change and taking a more person-centred approach to care. The diploma encourages you to think differently about your role, develop professionally and personally and apply your learning directly to your everyday patient appointments.
