Have your say on the future of dental education and training in England

The Faculty of General Dental Practice (FGDP(UK)) is urging dentists and dental care professionals throughout England to attend one of Health Education England’s ‘Advancing Dental Care’ workshops.
Advancing Dental Care is HEE's review of dental education and training, which aims to improve NHS recruitment and retention, and address geographical and skills shortages. The aim of the events is to ‘share the review’s evidence and findings to date, to test thinking, and to develop and discuss options for flexible training for the dental workforce’.
Ian Mills, Dean of the FGDP(UK), is representing the Faculty at HEE's national stakeholder forum on Advancing Dental Care, and said:
“The Advancing Dental Care review is far-reaching in scope, and will have profound effects upon the future of the profession, so I strongly encourage oral health professionals across England to attend their nearest workshop and let HEE know their views on its proposals.”
