Training is an important part of what we do at Glenmore.

A broad range of learning and skill enhancement possibilities exists, from general workplace skills in the surgery and reception, through to specific programmes leading to a recognised qualification. All dental nurses within Glenmore as required by Law are either fully qualified and registered with the General Dental Council, or trainee dental nurses working towards the dental nurse qualification – National Certificate of Dental Nursing (awarded by the National Examining Board for Dental Nurses).

Trainees attend the dental nursing course taught by Mrs Hatchard and Dr Schneider in Bracknell. Over the years, they have taught most of the Dental Nurses in Berkshire! (Twin courses are taught at Thatcham and Bracknell).
