King's College Hospital Dental Nurse Education & Training Centre (KCH DNETC) – a rapidly growing and innovative element of the King's Health Partners Dental Institute – has recently developed an online course for dental nurses working towards the National Examining Board for Dental Nurses (NEBDN) National Certificate.

An initial pilot of the programme provided training for six dental nurses who successfully completed the course. To date five of the six participants have entered the NEBDN National Certificate examination and a 100% pass rate was achieved.

The second cohort of 20 students are already enrolled and participating online. Other online courses for dental nurses have already been developed and are available via the Dental Nurse Education & Training Centre.
