Any advice/help on being a head dental nurse!?

Also, HTM 01-05 will answer your questions about the checks you need to be doing re: decontamination (protein test/soil/foil/etc)

I was made lead dental nurse just over a year ago & my employer has let me develop the role as I go.
This is what I do:

-decontamination lead and know HTM 05-01 inside out
- update practice policies re:decontamination
- ensure all the validation testing is carried out on the ultrasonics/washer disinfectors and autoclaves & I check the log books for the equipment are kept up to date (soil/foil/protein test etc)
-created log books for each surgery with daily checklists for surgery set up and shut down including a daily cleaning checklist
-oversee the quarterly DUWL dip slide checks
-order all stock & source cheaper alternatives
-check schedules for discrepancies
-do some in house training i.e hand washing, instrument sterilisation
-update the COSHH file & help out with risk assessments and workplace inspections
-update the radiation protection file
-everyday management of the nurses eg if a dentist is on holiday, I write up a list of jobs to do.
-chair nurse meetings every 6 weeks and feed back into the whole team meetings
-spot check the cleanliness of the surgeries & drop in to observe the nurses working occasionally
-help and support nurses with CPD or their personal development plan
-help and support the dentists
-discuss and diffuse difficult situations between dentist & nurses or reception & nurses

All this along with nursing & I only work part time! I regularly take work home with me to keep on top of it but it does bring me great satisfaction too.

Top tips:
-You really have to separate yourself from the other nurses; being their friend makes it difficult to manage them too
-Delegate. Don't expect to get through it all yourself or you will get snowed under with work
-Know what you're talking about. It's difficult to train others if you're not sure about the subject
-Act professionally, other nurses need to take you seriously and respect your position of authority

I'm sure there is loads more I've not mentioned too
