Dental Nursing is about to change. The majority of the 60,000 UK dental nurses are not qualified, but from 1999 formal training will be mandatory. This concise and practical book forms part of an essential training pathway towards the National Certificate of Dental Nursing. Clearly defined in its approach, the book delivers what dental nurses really need to know, but in a helpful self-directed learning format. Eleven chapters cover all aspects of dental nursing focusing on efficient patient management, health and safety, medico-legal practice and staff training routines. Effective cross-referencing between subjects allows quick access to well-categorised information. This is an ideal format for exam preparation and a quick reference source in the busy dental surgery.
