From NHS England Primary Care Bulletin:
Amendments to the Human Medicines Regulations 2012, enable suitably trained dental hygienists and therapists to personally supply and administer specified medicines without requiring a patient specific direction from a dentist, or a patient group direction. The NHSE commissioned online training enabling dental hygienists and therapists to work to these exemptions has now been launched. Training can be accessed on the NHS Learning Hub.
The training launch follows on from the publication of the guidance on the supply and administration of medicines by dental hygienists and dental therapists, and the recently held webinar for contractors, dental hygienists and therapists.
