Abbie, the NEBDN Special Care course is run at various centres, such as Leeds, Liverpool, Cardiff and Birmingham,however, BSDH would like to hear from anyone who has details of the courses as we don't hear directly about them.
I have found this about the Birmingham Dental Hospital course though:
'Special Care Dental Nursing Certificate
This course is designed for registered, qualified Dental Nurses with current special care dental nursing experience. The course complies with the National Syllabus, and the aim is to gain a nationally recognised qualification. The cost of the course is currently £495. For further details please contact Debbie Cartwright at Birmingham Dental Hospital. Tel: 0121 237 2774, e-mail Debbie.Cartwright@sbpct.nhs.uk'
The University of Liverpool are running a NEBDN Special Care course, starting in October. I have uploaded the flyer:

Liverpool has a good reputation for SCD and I expect this will be a very worthwhile course
