Free Oral Health Training for Non-Dental Workforce
Oral Health affects every segment of our population, from the very young through to those at the end of life. By 2021, 1 in 5 people in the UK will be over the age of 65; thus, a growing number of people will require additional help caring for their oral health. Meanwhile, tooth extractions for those aged 19 and under cost the NHS approximately £50m each year, with children and parents missing productive days of school and work to treat preventable tooth decay.
A Few Hours, A World of Difference
If you are a non-dental professional working in a health and social care setting, pharmacy, GP practice, school, care home, or if you provide other residential support for people who need an extra hand with their personal care, our short oral health training sessions are for you. Training is designed to help to improve the oral and overall health of patients and clients.
Just a few hours of training can make an enormous difference, significantly lessening the pressure on the NHS, bettering quality of life for our patients, and providing us with knowledge that will positively impact the lives of patients and clients for years to come.
