Abstract

Postgraduate Dental Deans commission and manage the delivery of postgraduate dental and medical education and training for dental practitioners. They are charged with developing and quality assuring opportunities for trainees in primary and secondary care so that they can reach their full potential, and must work with local organisations to ensure that sufficient training places are available to meet the future needs of the NHS. Postgraduate dental deans influence training opportunities and standards in NHS Trusts as well as dental vocational training practices. They also play a role in developing national policies on postgraduate dental education and implement new initiatives. Their roles cover modernising dental careers, national and international recruitment and retention in primary and secondary care. They are involved in leading the development of the dental workforce, including professions complementary to dentistry as well as managing the provision and quality assurance of CPD for general practitioners. They also provide support for doctors and dentists facing difficult situations.
