We are an NEBDN training centre
We have been a National Examination Board for Dental Nurses (NEBDN) accredited training centre since 1992. Our NEBDN approved training centre number is WM04180. Our training courses have been attended by dental nurses from a wide area including South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, East Midlands and Lincolnshire.
|
Since its inception in 1943 the NEBDN, which is a registered charity, managed by a board of trustees, has become the most widely recognised awarding body for dental nurses in the United Kingdom. Our dental nurse tutors are approved by the NEBDN. We presently provide training courses for the National Certificate and Oral Health Education qualifications. We are currently applying for NEBDN accreditation to provide approved training courses for qualified dental nurses on sedation, radiography, orthodontics and special care nursing. |
