BUt surely if your scope of practice has gone up...your renumeration has too? I would very much hope more than £30 pa so surely it's a worthwhile trade off?

Ladies, I've just found out my indemnity cover has to increase by another £30 because I'm doing direct patient care (applying fluoride, as part of Scottish Childsmile programme). As good as it is, we're increasing our knowledge & scope of practice, but it's a pain we're having to pay more for doing so!!

Hi
Im starting the fluoride course in Bolton (nr Manchester) next week but you had to be quick to get on it, they only have a max of 10 people per course and cant say when the next on will be run. (it was a fantastic price £125.00 and a £300.00 retainer fee given back as long as all dates are attended and you pass)
ill let you all know how i go on and what the course involves

our practice is involved in an OHP pilot scheme -so for part of the scheme we had to do Fluoride Varnish Application course as we were suposed to go out in the community to apply the varnish ie sit in asda or tesco and just apply fluoride to childrens teeth but 
it got stopped something to do with consent. which is a shame because i was looking forward to it.

That sounds pretty good Weesy. When you say over a week, were the lectures spread over months or literally a week? and would you mind sharing where you did this course?

I completed the Fluoride Application course last year-our course was over a week long with lots of information to take in. then you had to complete 10 practicals in surgery and your dentist has to mark your different skills ie communication, professionalism and applicaton. then we had x2 role play exams done in front external examiners which thank god i passed -so now i'm an extra duties dental nurse. haven't done any in surgery yet as we have no funding for the PCT.
