Do you think it's acceptable that dental hygienists and dental therapists often have to work alone and without the support of a dental nurse?
The British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy (BSDHT) has recently held a survey on the issue, with thousands of respondents stating that dental nursing support should become standard practice for these clinicians.
As such, the Society is putting this issue at the forefront of its future ambitions for the profession. By raising awareness and campaigning for change the BSDHT hopes to make this extra support a reality.
To find out more, contact the BSDHT. Better yet, become a member and become part of the change!
