Dental nurses in primary care to be recognised as NHS workers for pay/pension
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Dental nurses in primary care are employed by dentists who hold contracts with the NHS directly. We therefore are not on a pay banding scale, so not receive any DDR incentives, and are not entitled to NHS pension. We are simply employees working tirelessly for little reward with no recognition
