Enhanced Verifiable CPD from the
University of Birmingham

CPD for Dental Nurses

Online verifiable CPD for dental nurses, including core topics, is available here with Dentaljuce membership. Dental nurses are the backbone of modern dentistry. The complexity of current systems and procedures makes effective dentistry impossible without a well trained professional nurse. In the UK this has been recognised by the General Dental Council, who created the Dental Nurse's Register.

Most of the juce on this web site is useful for all the team - one can never learn too much about one's profession! But there are many pages that are especially suitable for nurse members as part of their Enhanced CPD.

The pages include : Radiation Biology and Physics, Legal Regulations like IRR and IR(ME)R, the concepts and details of Justification and Optimisation, and Quality Control Programmes. There are extensive self-assessments, both short answer and MCQ.
