The course has been running in Belfast since 2001. In March 2011 we gained accreditation from the National Examining Board for Dental Nurses. Candidates cannot sit the examination for the Certificate in Dental Sedation Nursing unless they have attended an accredited course.
This certificate is currently the ‘gold standard’ for the ‘second appropriately trained person’ assisting in dental sedation.
