Course Gewoon Gaaf in depth for the (prevention) assistant

Research (Volgenant et al, 2019) shows that of all oral care providers, (prevention) assistants (41%) are the most involved in the implementation of Gewoon Gaaf in practice.

The survey results, held among oral care providers who followed the Gewoon Gaaf course, show that (prevention) assistants in particular have a need for more theoretical knowledge about the 'Basic Caries Prevention Advice' and the 'Additional Caries Prevention Advice'. They also indicated that they wanted to practice more with motivational interviewing (MI). That is why the course: 'Gewoon Gaaf in depth for the (prevention) assistant' will be started in 2024.

On this basis, the board of the Ivory Cross has decided to design an in-depth course for the (prevention) assistant: 'Gewoon Gaaf in depth for the (prevention) assistant'.

The course is based on the 3 pillars of 'The Caries Prevention Advice' and 'The Caries Prevention Supplementary Advice', namely:
