As discussed in previous threads, nurse training has changed to a more academic focus. IMO, this change was not for the better. Some student nurses now think that they are above such menial tasks as helping to keep wards clean, and basic nursing care, ie, pressure area care, oral hygiene and toileting.
This magazine may have cost a fortune to produce, but if it contains statistics about dental care then it has more than likely been produced by the PCT rather than the hospital trust. The PCTs are funded separately to the hospital trusts and have different management. I will await my copy and see if I can track down where it has come from.
