NVQ Level 3 in Dental Nursing
This qualification enables a Dental Nurse to register with the General Dental Council.
As with all National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs), much of the learning takes place in the work place and through work-based assessments. In addition, candidates are required to undertake a knowledge based test, known as the VRQ. The off-the-job training element of the programme is delivered through our especially designed tutoring sessions at Learn-Kit, distance learning materials and our “Moodle”.
The main units of the NVQ include the following:
- Ensure your own actions reduce the risk to health and safety
- Reflect on and develop your practice
- Provide Basic Life Support
- Prepare and maintain environments, instruments and equipment for clinical dental procedures
- Offer information and support to individuals on the protection of their oral health
- Provide chair side support during the assessment of patients’ oral health
- Contribute to the production of dental radiographs
- Provide chair side support during the prevention and control of periodontal disease and caries and the restoration of cavities
- Provide chair side support during the provision of fixed and removable appliances
- Provide chair side support during non surgical endodontic treatment
- Provide chair side support during the extraction of teeth and minor surgery.
This learning programme/qualification is available privately and for eligible candidates in Wales, through a Modern Apprenticeship Programme funded by the Welsh Assembly Government.
