Welcome to the NES Dental Workforce Development Autumn Newsletter

Welcome to the Autumn 2024 edition of the Dental Workforce Development Newsletter. 

In this edition we introduce you to: 

Migration from GoTo Webinar to Microsoft Teams Webinar.  This article will aim to help you join a MS Teams Webinar that you have registered for through Portal. 

Turas – Top links.  Turas is the main learning resource repository for NES, giving access to multi-disciplinary education and training.  At present it runs alongside Dental Portal to allow booking and payment of courses.  Eventually Turas will replace all the functionality of Portal.  Searching for a specific learning resource on Turas is not easy.  This article will give you a list of popular searches with direct links to them on Portal.  If the link does not take you directly to the resource you wish to access you can copy and paste it into your Google tab.  

Radiology eLearning.  This is a new eLearning resource that has been a long time in development.  It consists of 4 modules, each of one hour's duration.

Communication and Behaviour Change.  An article on some aspects of behaviour change.

Reducing Inequalities.  Further information on the work of the Reducing Inequalities workflow within the DWD workstream.

The News Bites section contains information on:
