A new £500,000 Northern Dental Education Centre - NORDEC - based at Bradford College has been officially opening by Bradford South MP, Judith Cummins. NORDEC will provide training courses and apprenticeships for aspiring dental nurses, and in-work training for people already working in the sector.
Opening the centre, Judith Cummins said: “I am delighted and proud, this centre puts Bradford at the heart of cutting-edge technology in dentistry. The centre will put Bradford on the map nationally as a centre of excellence for dentistry, and the people of Bradford will feel the benefit of the centre and this initiative. It is a truly wonderful facility that is the result of hard work between Bradford College, Bradford Council and the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
“In Bradford a third of children have not seen a dentist for two years, and 190 of our children have been admitted to hospital for tooth extraction in the past eight months.Training here will upskill dental workers and improve dental care and health in our district.”
