  1. National Dental Core training curriculum and assessment frameworkDental Core Trainee training slidesSeptember 2016

  2. Background From September 2016 we will have a DCT curriculum in the UK for the first time Aim : “To improve educational standards for Dental Core Training whilst maintaining a focus on patient safety”

  3. Objectives of today’s training

  4. Background • DCT 1 focus on generic outcomes • DCT 2/3 focus on further development of these with additional optional outcomes. • Trainees will have PDP • Certificate of achievement • No DCT 4 posts. Max 3 year training programme.

  5. DCT training -how is it different? • Curricula usually start at point A and describe how a trainee moves to single exit point B and describes the outcomes required • DCT has a single entry point- Dental Foundation (or equivalent) • DCT is different in that it has multiple exit points

  6. DPH DCT2 DCT3 DCT1 Oral Surgery Paeds Restorative DCT training -how it fits together The route will depend on the your final proposed career path

  7. Structure of the Curriculum 1/2

  9. Purpose of Dental Core Training • Consolidate and develop knowledge of clinical and organisational governance • Learn through service delivery ensuring that patients are not put at risk • Experience training in a different setting/s with adequate supervision • Practise within their own level of competence and develop additional skills • Development & feedback to reach higher levels of competence • Become part of a large multidisciplinary team • Work with experts in their field • Develop leadership skills • Develop their preference of career choice

  10. Expectations of DCTs Values and commitment to patient safety A good trainee is a safe, compassionate and effective practitioner who is committed to high quality patient care and treats all patients with respect. The dental trainee will be expected to demonstrate the following values: • Working together for patients • Respect and dignity • Care and compassion • Improving lives • Everyone counts • Openness, honesty and responsibility • Quality and teamwork

  11. Expectations of DCTs Overall, the expectation of trainees is that they will drive their training against an agreed set of objectives and timeline in order to maximise their training opportunities and development. Clinical Supervisors, Educational supervisors and members of the Deanery or local HEE teams all have a role, but the primary responsibility for training progression sits with the individual trainee.

  12. Educational Support • Educational and clinical supervisors • Induction, educational and clinical supervisor • Learning agreement • PDP • Workplace based assessments • E Portfolio • Reflective practice

  13. Outcomes of DCT1 Trainees should be able to demonstrate evidence against the following areas/outcomes: • Enhanced clinical skills relevant to primary or specialist dental care • Understanding the impact, mechanism, benefits and appropriateness of specialist or inter-specialty referral • Options to work partly in OMFS services, dental hospital services and partly in community/ public dental services • Out of hours work where this forms part of the contract of employment • Increased team working and working in multidisciplinary teams • Development as a professional • Enhanced skills in self-reflection and construction of effective PDP • Improved self-awareness • Academic achievement (Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery (MFDS)/ Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties (MJDF, Audits, Presentations, Prizes) • Enhanced awareness of career options and intentions • Ability to cope with patients with more challenging and complex conditions • Communication with different providers/referrers and patients and their carers as well as other peer groups

  14. Outcomes of DCT 2/3 in addition to the DCT 1 outcomes it is expected that there will be increased evidence of these areas: • Enhanced clinical skills • Portfolio of outcomes which may be required for provision of referral services in the future. • Portfolio of outcomes required for entry to specialty training • Increased generic experience and level of responsibility, including leadership and audit/governance • More specialty specific experience • Enhanced academic achievement (e.g. publications, presentations, teaching, research, further examinations) • Awareness of leadership and importance of this to clinical care and the work environment and for the work environment.
