Dental Nurse Network is looking for more tutors, working flexible hours, to join the team. 

The work includes marking course work and/or teaching online classes which can be done outside of your normal working hours.

A career in dentistry wasn’t something I had ever considered. Initially, I wanted to be a surgeon or a police officer … I know two roles that are poles apart from each other. However, despite being classed as above average academically, there were too many shiny things that distracted me, and I didn’t achieve the grades required for either of those careers. 

MediCruit, a Henry Schein affiliate providing recruitment solutions to the dental sector, has teamed up with the Dental Nurse Network Academy, an organisation offering flexible, affordable, accredited training with high-quality learning material and student support to dental nurses.      

Through this partnership, MediCruit will offer two new courses to enable dental nurses and other professionals to achieve extended skills for their profession. 

In these difficult circumstances candidates need a good head start to get ahead of 

the pack. The NEBDN Fluoride Varnish is a qualification specially designed to help dental professionals develop vital skills so they can stand out from the crowd.

The aim of this course is to provide accredited training for registered dental nurses to become competent and confident in applying fluoride varnish under the prescription of a dentist or as part of a structured oral health programme.

I just wanted to take the time out of my day to personally thank all the dental teams out there for their hard work over the past year during this pandemic. It’s amazing how everyone has adapted to the changes within the industry. I sometimes think nurses can be forgotten, but without all your hard work and perseverance, we wouldn’t have been able to continue to see patients for treatments as we have.
