The education and training of personnel auxiliary to dentistry. A submission to the Nuffield Foundation.
This paper, which is based on a submission to the Nuffield Report, is proposing that there should be an alternative route to qualification as a dental surgeon. This might consist of a series of graded clinical modules separated by periods of paid employment as a dental auxiliary. During those periods of employment the auxiliary would have to follow a distance learning programme consisting of appropriate academic modules. Licence for independent practice as a dental surgeon would be given on completion of this modular degree course.
