Graduates of this program become eligible for inclusion on the Dental Council of Ireland's Voluntary Register for Dental Nurses.
This program focuses on equipping students with hands-on competencies backed by academic foundations, fostering comprehension of a dental nurse's duties and accountabilities within the dental healthcare team.
