Publication of Consultation about Enabling Dental Hygienists and Dental Therapists to Supply and Administer Certain Medicines

The Office of the Chief Dental Officer England have notified us about the Dental Hygienist and Dental Therapist consultation regarding an amendment to the Human Medicines regulation.

They encourage you to respond to this as the proposed change will support dental hygienists and dental therapists in providing the right care to patients, without unnecessary delays, as well as increasing capacity in oral health and dental care teams.
