FREE Oral Health Care Online Training Course

Oral Health Care Course for Social Care Providers and Individual Carers | eLearning Training

The key objective for people working in health and social care is to support individuals with their general health, wellbeing and dignity. Smiling Matters is a Care Quality Commission (CQC) report showing what they found following a review of oral health care in care homes across England. This led to CQC’s recommendation that care worker training includes oral health care.

This training course will give you a greater understanding about oral health care. Whilst the content will focus on your role as a care worker, you will also find useful information for you and your family at home. After all, we all have mouths. So, let’s find out more about how to look after them and get you smiling along the way!
