Does a Scrub Nurse need to be registered with the GDC?

If they are not working as a Dental Nurse then there is no need to be registered with the GDC. However, they must not be given the title 'nurse' as this can only be used by dental nurses who are registered with the GDC and will cause confusion.  Probably something like "Scrub Room Operative" is politically-correct enough.
