A road map to success

Whether you are at the beginning your career or have been involved in dental nursing for many years, one thing is a certainty, participating in some form of educational activities will be central to your current role and future development. The view of the General Dental Council (GDC) is clear and unequivocal – education does not end on qualification or registration. Instead, it views continuing education as a vehicle to drive up standards and maintain public safety and confidence throughout your career journey.

Next year will signal 10 years since the GDC introduced mandatory registration for all dental professionals. In that decade, dentistry has changed dramatically and the role of the dental nurse has had to evolve along with it.
