Following the news of a registered Nurse being struck off the dental register for multiple convictions, it is a good idea to re-evaluate the meaning of 'professionalism' and what it is and isn't we should be doing not only in our working life, but also our personal life. Committing ourselves to our profession involves a standard of behaviour and if we do not follow the standards and guidelines set by the General Dental Council, we will not only lose our job, we will also lose our place on the dental register making it impossible for us to work as Dental Nurses again.
Diary of a Treatment Co-ordinator Series 4
I have had a very productive day today. I have been revising our Smile Portfolio and Testimonials Books and have had a lot of fun updating them with new “before and after” photos and written testimonials for our patients, particularly new patients to view. One thing I love doing is video testimonials and I am currently in the process of uploading a few onto my new TCO Ipad (thanks boss!) which is going to be absolutely amazing once I start using it with patients.
