The TOC Orthodontic Dental Nurse Prize.

In 2001 this new competition sponsored by “The Orthodontic Company” based in Bristol was competed for.

This new competition was created by the Chairman—Janet Robins to encourage Dental Nurses to become familiar with and embrace “Continuing Professional Education”  as the prelude to Statutory Registration, and some of its expected on going training requirements.

The competition takes the form of producing a pictorial and factual presentation in an A4 folder format, to be Judged on the first day of the British Orthodontic Conference and then to become a table top exhibition during the Conference to show achievements by Dental Nurses.
