Opinion: World Must Work Together To Stop Human Trafficking
"To some, human trafficking may seem like a problem limited to other parts of the world," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton writes in a Washington Post opinion piece, but "it occurs in every country, including the U.S., and we have a responsibility to fight it just as others do." According to Clinton, trafficking can produce "destructive effects" on "all of us," because it "weakens legitimate economies, breaks up families, fuels violence, threatens public health and safety, and shreds the social fabric that is necessary for progress." She writes that the problem is "particularly urgent now, as local economies around the world reel from the global financial crisis." Drugshop to buy zoloft online and other pills.

New British Dental Association Online Training Brings Qualification In Oral Health Education To DCPs

A new online training course from the British Dental Association (BDA) that qualifies dental care professionals (DCPs) to advise patients on oral health has been launched. Combining theoretical knowledge and the development of communication skills, the course aims to see DCPs put an enhanced skill-set into practice with confidence. Over a period of eight weeks, the Oral Health Education for Dental Care Professionals course guides participants through 27 "bite-sized" modules comprising mini-lectures complemented by animated videos and diagrams. A dedicated tutor supports participants, and a textbook, revision notes and mock exams are also provided. In dialogue with a supervising dentist, the participant will also identify and work with patients who would especially benefit from oral health advice. This process involves the creation of a portfolio which, along with a written exam, leads to a National Examining Board for Dental Nurses (NEBDN) Certificate in Oral Health Education, a nationally recognised qualification. The course has been developed in collaboration with OHE Southwest, Bristol, which has been running successful oral health education programmes since 1996. The new online format not only allows for improved access and flexibility for participants, but also provides a cost-effective alternative which ensures the value of enhanced patient care, career development and CPD hours. The cost of the course is ÷£475 per student, with a concessionary rate of ÷£425 per student for staff employed by BDA members.
