I’m a dental hygienist in UK. We have just won direct access to patients with effect from 1 May 2013. That means patients can come and see us without a prescription from a dentist and we can work independently just like physiotherapists work independently from GP’s.
On a completely different note, I have just posted on the continuing education forum about O’hehir University. A new on-line virtual university specifically for dental hygienists wishing to upgrade from a diploma/associates degree to a bachelors or masters degree in oral health promotion.
