Background Despite efforts to promote the effective use of the WHO surgical safety checklist, wrong tooth extractions have continued to occur within dentistry. Method A training initiative combined methods of teaching comprising of a presentation, video and simulation to deliver LocSSIP training at an Oral Surgery Department of a UK dental hospital. Participant feedback was analysed to determine their perception of using combined methods to deliver the training. Result Overall feedback was very positive with regard to relevance of the training, and its ability to meet the learning needs of all participants. Participants advocated that there should be regular re‐training and incorporation of this training into the local induction programme. Almost About 94% of staff members Strongly Agreed or Agreed that they would recommend this format of training to other departments. Conclusion Effective training is essential to maintain safe clinical practice within health care, and training methods that are inclusive of various learning styles are well received.
