etc etc...

morning,
the amounts you spoke about are per year,isn't it?
I try to find out from that bdan site how much i must pay but I cannot get aquote.
Any way do you know other companys?
thanks

Yep. Not happy is one way to put it

I will not comment! was not happy to see my money this month gone for nothing....

So by those fees, I've still got to pay £74 because I'm employed by a businessman rather than a dentist. Nice to know there's equality! If only I could just pay the fees equivalent for 3 months worth because 1 thing for sure, I will certainly not be returning to dental nursing after maternity leave. So there's another qualified, experienced nurse/OHE/Childsmile nurse gone.

I've just been on the Dental Protection website - Full DPL Membership for Dental Nurses (working more than 20 hours per week) is £74
Discounted membership - where a dental nurse is employed in a general or specialist practice by a DPL member or employed in a hospital (NHS or University), community, dental school or armed forces is £37

With regard to the Hypnotherapy qualification - I studied with Uncommon Knowledge at Brighton University in 2006 and qualified DipHypPsych (UK). I basically did the course because I wanted to help people with dental phobia. I had no qualifications apart from 'O' grades (levels) gained at school and the National Certificate in Dental Nursing. Before starting the course there was a "taster weekend" which enabled potential students to assess their suitability to do the course. I enjoyed the course - people of all age groups and walks of life including one dentist were my fellow students.
Since qualifying I, sadly, haven't used hypnotherapy at work but I do see people privately.
Uncommon Knowledge no longer does the training course which I did but one of their tutors does a very similar course under the name "Within Sight".
Human Givens College - does a Diploma in Human Givens - this is based on attending day, weekend courses, a fortnight "school" and a series of practical sessions.
Unfortunately these courses tend to be rather costly - I think that you would need to have private work at the end in order to re-coup the amount spent.
I know that the British Society for Medical & Dental Hypnosis does courses but I think that they only accept doctors or dentists on to their courses.
In addition to that it is reckoned that their are about 250 hypnotherapy schools throughout the country.
Sorry to have provided you with such a long answer.

Kind regards

Janet

Dental protection is, as far as I've been able to tell, actually a better indemnity provider anyway. Better T&C as far as my simple mind can make out.

Janet, what qualifications do you need to be a Psychotherapist? Psyc Bsc?

Hi

Dental Protection is good and probably cheaper than most - you get access to CPD as well.
I am also a qualified Hypnotherapist/Psychotherapist - I have just my indemnity insurance for that - £47.95 - a figure around that mark would be more realistic for dental nurses.

Good luck

Thanks its helped a lot. I'm not sure what the dentist's are using if im honest.

Dental protection seem like the best one and the cheapest.

The only reason i am changing is
1, because GDC has gone up and i have to pay for myself
2, didn't get a payrise this year
3, with my new extended duties it cost a bomb with Badn

Im going with Dental protection its £35 unless your dentist is with it and pays the extra fees then its free for you. I would not be without insurance especially in this day and age. Also having you own insurance is good. Cos if your dentist did anyhing wrong it gives you the chance to whistle blow and safe guards you. I too was with the BADN till now. They moaned about the GDC fees being £120 and wanted us to pay less then they put our fees up. Also if your not insured for Implat or sedation and your practice does them n the nurse is off and your asked to cover then ur not insured so the practice is then stuck. Hope this helps

Hi all,
