More details
I have worked as a dental nurse for nearly 14 years and I’m on less money than a Mc Donald’s staff. I never get anything eg pay rise.. etc but as I say and I know I stand for 1000s of dental nurse working in the nhs field … the annual gdc subscription is mandatory for nurses and it costs around £106 every year and then another £40 for the online courses we have to do in order to stay registered with the gdc and keep our jobs.. which in turn is crucial to the employer.
