Anonymous survey for Orthodontic Dental Nurses and Orthodontic Therapists who work in hospital settings.
Research aims to understand how dental team members' skills and scope of practice are being utilised across UK dental hospitals, and to identify opportunities for improved training, skill-mixing and workforce development.

Reports from the GDC and the Advancing Dental Care Report have highlighted persistent concerns that "dental care professionals" often feel underrepresented, undervalued, and limited in their professional growth.

Our pilot study indicated this unfortunately also prevails in dental hospital care, where the contributions of dental nurses, hygienists, therapists, technicians, clinical dental technicians and orthodontic therapists remain poorly understood, despite the vital role all team members hold.

Please help to complete this survey and shape the future for Orthodontic Dental Nurses and Orthodontic Therapists !
