What is Record of Experience (RoE)

The National Examination Board for Dental Nurses (NEBDN) course handbook defines the Record of Experience (RoE), as ‘a portfolio designed to provide a written and authenticated record of every student’s competence, so that when fully completed each student has evidence that they have nursed and assisted in the required range of dental procedures, and to a satisfactory standard, to deem them “safe and competent” to work unsupervised’. Your tutor will give guidance on compiling the portfolio which comprises the RoE which must be submitted by the deadline given to you. This is necessary for you to sit the examinations which along with the RoE are essential parts of the dental nursing qualification. In order for an individual RoE to be approved students must complete all set tasks and reply promptly to communications from School tutors and administrators. Additionally, they must demonstrate satisfactory academic progress.
