Empowering the dental nurses of the future

To maximise on the many career opportunities available, it is crucial that dental nurses have access to the training, support, and encouragement they need. For many, this relies on working within an environment conducive to development, surrounded by people who actively facilitate progression.

This is the culture that we endeavour to build across Clyde Munro Dental Group. We understand the impact that our dental nurses have on the quality of patient care provided, as well as on the daily efficiency of our practices. To optimise both while giving professionals the opportunities they deserve to fulfil their career ambitions, we have partnered with Ident Training.

Introducing Ident Training

Established specifically to provide courses for dental nurses, Ident Training offers a number of programmes designed to improve individuals’ knowledge and practical skills. Classes are delivered primarily online, with hands-on days elevating the quality of teaching. There is a range of 90-minute sessions for Clyde Munro dental nurses held on Tuesday and Friday lunchtimes, ensuring convenience and accessibility for all.

Helen Donaghy, Director and Centre Manager of Ident Training, commented: “Ident uses an online portfolio for their students’ tasks, which holds all the resources they need for each unit and the full course. Here we assist students to build a portfolio of evidence, with a wide range of methods to gather the key components required for the programme.

“We have a good understanding of the needs of Clyde Munro as a company, and subsequently, their trainees. The achievement rate of the Dental Nurse qualification is excellent, and we hope to continue with this successful partnership in the future.”

Striving for excellence

This training is available as part of the STRIVE initiative – a 12-month, fully-funded training programme dedicated to trainee dental nurses. The year education concludes in an SVQ qualification in Dental Nursing and is supported by access to additional education at the dedicated Advanced Dentistry & Clinical Skills Centre as well.

For anyone passionate about helping people and facilitating the delivery of excellent care, consider a career in dental nursing. We would love to help you lay the foundations for decades of success at Clyde Munro!
