A route to remove barriers for dental nurses?.
Radiographs, scanners, and photos with the advances of AI and low doses allow current and future AI assessment tools to help look after the worried well, and allow palliative care for vulnerable children and adults to avoid  more extensive surgical treatment. 
​We just need to empower the whole dental team, and we need to update the current 1984 Dental Act

This great opertunity to futher your service and potentially improve your income can be found here. https://skillsengland.education.gov.uk/apprenticeships/st0542-v1-1I’ve attended a presentation on this course twice. It was developed in 2019, and promotion began in 2023.
I contacted the course provider to ask how many participants had registered across the six centres offering the day-release programme over a 15-month period, but I didn’t receive a reply. The course outcomes are published on the course website. There seems to be minimal take up

When I spoke to individuals who ran the courses wht there was little interest a consistent issue emerged: the sessions are often scheduled around when a dentist happens to need a nurse. For many people, this means a round trip of over 100 miles — which is simply not practical.
I believe there is a far more efficient way to deliver this training. It should be modular, focusing on the four key areas: Once you have completed the online module, and are signed off by a dentist who has obsserved you, potentially providing video "evidence". Its green, sustainable, and should not cost up to £9000. 

• Dietary advice and oral hygiene instruction (OHI)
• Applying fluoride varnish
• Taking digital impressions
• Taking dental X-rays

I also raised concerns with HEE about the lack of training in basic IT and digital systems over fifteen years ago. For many people, this remains one of the biggest barriers to improving workflows and building knowledge confidently. There is a link to how the course is run if you click on the image below. We need HEALTH ADVOCATES, we need you 😁
