Dental Nurses and chaperoning reminder
A dentist
undertaking Inhalation Sedation/ "RA" has to be chaperoned and assisted
by a Dental Nurse who has had appropriate training. DNs often have to field questions from patients and they need to fully understand the technique and the answers to FAQs. as well as being in a position to assist with monitoring the patient.
To conform with this requirement I will now, generally only offer places on my courses on a “team” basis. One GDP and one nurse or perhaps two or more GDPs from the same practice plus one or more dental nurses, if applicable will be accepted.
The “USP” of these courses are the small numbers we encourage to allow full participation so the fees reflect the personal attention and "after sales service" and the costs of running and marketing them.
Given the latest recommendations for training standards in conscious sedation from the DSTG my course structure may change in the future and the fees will then need to reflect this.
As soon as the situation is clarified , more information will be made available on this site.
