Dental Nurse Programme

The Dental Nurse Programme is in two parts and was developed in anticipation of statutory registration.  It is ideal as a tool to confirm the learner's knowledge before taking the National Certificate Examination or to assist in building a portfolio of evidence for the NVQ/SVQ in Oral Health Care Dental Nursing Level 3.

Where a formal qualification is not the immediate priority the programme can be used as a stand-alone work based programme.  The learner will require the support of a more experienced colleague to undertake the role of mentor.  The mentor’s main role is to give advice and support when needed and monitor overall progress.  A Certificate of Achievement will be issued to learners who successfully complete each part of the programme.  The knowledge gained from completing the programme will then greatly assist the learner if they later decide to seek a formal qualification

Dental trainers and educators can enhance or develop their own programmes by purchasing a set of the Dental Nurse Programme for each of the learners attending their course.  

Written by Clare Roberts, Chair of the British Association of Dental Nurses National Teaching Group and representative on the Council for the National Examining Board for Dental Nurses, the Dental Nurse Programme presents flexible, informative and interactive education.

It is easy to follow and its flexibility allows dental nurses to gain qualification in their own time and at their own speed.
