Abstract
We describe our two-year experience of a nurse led clinic (NLC) in a tertiary centre
oral and maxillofacial surgical (OMFS) department. The clinic is run by a specialist
nurse, in parallel with a consultant’s clinic and focuses on the management and review
of non-malignant lesions. Increased clinical flexibility, reduced waiting times, and
tailored educational resources have contributed to an improved experience for the
patients.
