Aims

The Role of Haptic Virtual Simulators in Dental Education:

Leadership and retention of the Dental Nurse workforce 

Aim: The aim of this session is to raise awareness to the role that future leadership and teamwork educational provision could take in aiding retention of the Dental Nurse (DN) workforce within NHS Regions.

Supporting NHS Oral Health Delivery by Direct Access for the Oral Health

Aim: The aim of this session is to explore the means by which the use of Direct Access (DA) by dental hygienists (DH) and dental therapists (DTh) could be increased in NHS general practice.
