The courses have been developed in recognition of the need for high quality education that is accessible alongside the demands of a busy dental practice.
A four-day short course in periodontics will be taking place in July at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, London, whilst the Faculty is also running a two-day introduction to endodontics course at MANDec, Manchester in October. The courses both take place on Fridays and Saturdays to minimise the impact on patient care.
“The FGDP(UK) is committed to supporting excellence in patient care by providing the highest standard of education”, said the Faculty’s Programmes Manager, Helena Kopec. “By offering both two-year programmes and short courses, we can provide training and development opportunities which are accessible to a wide range of potential students.”
Applications are also being accepted for a two-year postgraduate Diploma in Implant Dentistry, which will begin in October 2013 at the University of Leeds. This highly regarded course offers a practical training pathway, ensuring that students can provide patients with high quality treatment, both aesthetically and functionally. Students will be instructed by world class lecturers, including Ashok Sethi and Naresh Sharma, who are both experts in this field. There is also the opportunity to attend units in Germany as part of the programme.
