The union, which represents workers across a range of different sectors, will welcome dental nurses into their ranks at a national dentistry convention held in Manchester on March 9, 2024.
The dental sector has faced a wide range of challenges over the past few years. Community Union is looking to become a new voice to stand up for the interests of dental nurses across the UK.
Community Union was approached by a group of self-organised dental nurses called Dental Nurse Connect who wanted a new union for dental nurses to join to better tackle the workplace issues they face.
Roy Rickhuss, community general secretary, said, "We are very proud to welcome the dental nursing sector into our union. At a time when nationwide access to dental services is in crisis, there is a growing awareness of the vital work dental nurses do both in supporting dentists to care for patients, helping to streamline procedures, and delivering critical safety practices within the surgery.
