The Course
This is the new mandatory course for Dental Nurses. This course is designed for the experienced dental nurse to gain a recognised qualification working a minimum two days in surgery. A portfolio of evidence is collected through assessment and written experiences within the workplace. A certificate of achievement is gained on completion of the portfolio and a pass in the final exam.
Starting in September 09 will be a daytime course which will run for one academic year (Sept Jul) on a Wed morning 9-1. This course will allow students to complete the qualification for enrolment onto the GDC register in one year. The evening course will still be available but as it is a two year course it will only run every two years. There will be no evening course starting Sept 09.
