Summary
The concept of a two year dental foundation programme builds on the UK Departments of Health white paper Creating the Future: Modernising Careers for Salaried Dentists in Primary Care that is broadly comparable to the structured two year General Professional Training (GPT) programme which has been available for a proportion of graduates in the UK. The principal benefits of a dental foundation programme are: - Improved care for patients with particular emphasis on safety and standards - Improved training opportunities for the dental workforce in the UK - Flexible training pathways tailored to meet the needs of the service ad personal development needs of dental graduates - Streamlined training to enable a greater proportion of care to be delivered by trained staff - Improved recruitment and retention of the dental workforce in the UK Dental Core Training For the majority of foundation dentists this will involve 6 or 12 month posts in Hospital Dental Services / Salaried Dental Services. Other models may include experience in primary care.
