In the latest Primary Care Bulletin under dentistry there is an article about an e-learning programme that is available for dental hygienists and dental therapists to help navigate the changes under law, to supply and administer medicines within the Exemption framework, supporting the care of patients.
The e-learning, developed in partnership with NHS England, comprises six sections, which include case studies and peer discussion, and will take around two hours to complete. Although this programme was designed for dental hygienists and dental therapists, other members of the dental team may also find it useful.
This follows 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.
