Better Access to Care


I run into people every day asking me to help them find a dentist. Sadly, most reputable and ethical people don't take their insurance. Forget it if you have state insurance, the wait times are more than three months, and when you do get in, they never address the core reason for your visit. Just for a patient to get their teeth cleaned takes months, let alone a cavity. Some states are making it much easier for hygienists to provide for those patients and bill for reimbursement through Medicare and Medicaid. Unfortunately, I live in a state that does not, so my Public Health Dental Hygiene services are fee-for-service. The cost for cleaning is 59.00, which comes to less than $10 a month. Finding somewhere to provide these services is the next dilemma. I can provide care to the under-served and uninsured, but only within certain areas in my Scope of practice. All I can say is shame on all the red tape that comes with trying to be a benefit to the community. A community that dentists don't serve. We need to find a better way to meet the need of our community.

It is time for a change!

The level 5 diploma in education and training requires students to demonstrate comprehensive understanding across all learning outcomes. The College of Contract Management designs its assessments to test knowledge retention and practical application. Students must achieve the minimum credit requirements across the three groups to pass the qualification. Before taking this diploma, taking the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training is essential for candidates yet that is not mandatory.

Legal frameworks such as the Fire Safety Order 2005 mandate risk assessments and planning for emergency scenarios. The ews1 scheme operates in tandem with these obligations by focusing on external wall combustibility and safety. Aligning statutory risk management requirements with EWS1 evaluation standards enhances consistency across fire safety and mortgage risk mitigation. All those could be achieved by comprehensive learning from the College of Contract Management courses.
