DENTAL HYGIENIST
Dental hygienists are an important part of the dental team, preventing dental problems in adults and children.

You’ll help children and adults look after their teeth and gums. Sometimes you might be working on a one-to-one basis while on occasion you’ll work with groups of people.
As a Dental Hygienist you’ll carry out procedures such as:

scaling teeth (at times under local anaesthetic)
polishing teeth
applying topical fluoride and fissure sealants
You are likely to work in general dental practices but there are job opportunities in hospitals and community dental services.

Your work as a dental hygienist will save teeth by preventing and treating gum disease, helping people get rid of associated problems like bad breath. The dentist will usually advise you and help direct your work, although it’s now possible for hygienists and therapists who have extra training to set up their own practices or work independently in a dental practice so they can see patients without them seeing a dentist first.

In the community, you could work with people with a wide range of special or additional needs. If you are based in a hospital, you will help patients who may have had major surgery or complicated orthodontic treatment or have particular medical conditions. The hospital patients you see may be very ill, apprehensive or unsure after life-changing surgery. Read more about a dental hygienists role

General practitioners (GPs) treat all common medical conditions and refer patients to hospitals and other medical services for urgent and specialist treatment.

They focus on the health of the whole person combining physical, psychological and social aspects of care. General practitioners have an important role in looking after patients in their homes and within the communities where they live.

GPs are often the first point of contact for anyone with a physical or mental health problem and patients can be at their most anxious. Looking after the whole person – the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, cultural and economic aspects through patient-centred approaches is a vital part of any GP’s role.
This is becoming more important with terminally ill patients often choosing to stay at home. There are over 1.3 million GP consultations every day, most of which take place in a GP surgery or within the patient’s home. GPs occasionally work as part of teams attached to hospitals with roles in accident and emergency centres, discharge planning and in unscheduled care (such as urgent care centres). In the community they may run clinics in schools and in residential and nursing care homes. A typical GP appointment is scheduled to last for ten minutes, during which time the GP needs to assess the patient. As anything can come through the door, they make swift and effective decisions based on the presenting symptoms, and the patient’s current and previous medical history.

They also use their own knowledge to assess the likelihood of a certain illness being present over another. GPs look for patterns of symptoms to indicate or rule out different conditions. Up to 40 % of a doctors consulting can now be done over the telephone, rather than in face to face encounters and the shift to using different media is likely to expand in the future. Depending on their examination and diagnosis the GP has several management options which they will discuss with the patient as they develop a shared and agreed plan.
