Advancing practice in dental nursing. Part 4: journals

This series of articles is designed to help you develop your dental nursing practice. This article, the fourth in the series, examines the importance of reading up-to-date journals, publishing your own work and attending conferences

Dental nursing is an evolving profession. If you want to develop your own practice and move into a more specialist or advanced way of working then you will need to take an active step forward.

If you are working as a dental nurse and have never opened a book or looked at a dental nursing journal since you qualified, nor shown any initiative in your practice, then it is highly unlikely that your senior colleagues will identify you as someone who they want to invest their finances and clinical reputation in spearheading new developments. Your general professional development and ambitions to move into specialist or advanced practice needs to be planned and built upon solid foundations.
