How to Request a Dental Nurse

When completing your surgery booking, you will see the option:

“I require a Dental Nurse for this session.”

Simply tick this box during booking and we will take care of the rest.

Alternatively, if you have already booked your session, you may contact us to request nurse support (subject to availability).

What Happens Next

Once you request a nurse:

  1. We confirm nurse availability for your selected date and time.

  2. We contact the nurse directly and send onboarding instructions.

  3. We verify compliance documentation.

  4. We confirm final approval before the session.

Nurses cannot attend the premises until onboarding has been fully completed and approved.

Nurse Onboarding Requirements

For safety, governance and CQC compliance, all nurses must complete onboarding prior to attending the premises. This typically includes:

• Proof of identity
• Right to work documentation
• Enhanced DBS (where required)
• GDC registration (where applicable)
• Indemnity confirmation (where applicable)
• Vaccination status (e.g. Hepatitis B)
• Agreement to comply with clinical and data protection policies

Hire a Dental Surgery manages this process directly with the nurse.
