NEBDN Launches New CPD Courses
NEBDN has now launched its own Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses for dental nurses. Their new platform launched on 21st September 2026 with a Dental Nurse Bundle priced at £35 for a year’s membership.
The Bundle includes eight essential CPD courses, including medical emergencies, disinfection and decontamination, safeguarding and legal & ethical issues.
NEBDN is also working on providing a Dental Nurse Refresher course and two Educator courses for Assessors and Internal Quality Auditors. Both will be available to purchase later this year in 2026.
Kate Kerslake, CEO at NEBDN, comments: “The future of dental nursing is vital to how we operate as a charity and a business, which is why we’re pleased to be able to now offer CPD as an addition to our qualifications, to further support dental nurses in their career pathways, whether that’s at the beginning of their dental nurse journey or those who have been in employment for some time. Our courses have been made specifically for dental nurses and educators to provide a platform that is easy to use, completely digital and with interactive content. All our courses provide certification of CPD hours completed to ensure it’s easily recorded.”
NEBDN’s new CPD courses are available to purchase through their dedicated Shopify page https://learning.nebdn.org/.
CPD is a strict requirement of the General Dental Council (GDC) for all registered dental professionals in the UK and is measured in a 5-year cycle of 50 hours of verifiable CPD that must be completed, with at least 10 hours completed every 2 years.
What courses NEBDN offer?
- 8 Essential CPD courses – Dental Nurses (complemented by a suite of non-clinical enrichment courses)
- Dental Nurse Refresher course (coming soon) – For those who have taken a career break
- Educator CPD courses (coming soon) – Assessors and Internal Quality Assurance (IQA)
These new CPD courses cover those starting out as a newly qualified dental nurse, dental nurses who may have taken time off for maternity leave or taken a career break (NEBDN’s refresher course does not gain access to the GDC register, it’s for CPD only) and our educator course offers CPD for those in assessor and IQA roles.
