Dentistry – current key workforce and educational challenges affecting Wales Challenges include: • Strengthening of Mandatory Year of Dental Foundation (DF) Training; • Developing post-DF Dental Core Training; • Changes to CPD delivery based on new guidance from GDC and recommendations of the CPD review • Analysing the needs for Dental Specialties, including increased training in the primary care sector; • Addressing the Skill-mix Agenda for the delivery of oral health care in primary care dentistry. • Support for Enhanced practitioner training for DCPs and Dentists • Improving the interface UG/PG education for Dentist and DCPs
What are the key issues holding us back/helping us from meeting the challenges Barriers Helpers Enthusiastic and experienced staff COPDEND standards High quality DFT and Speciality training programmes Government and Regulator guidance • Poor management information • Variable delivery of some core activities • Variable evaluation of core activities • Questionable educational value for some activity • Poor integration with other parts of the organisation • Cost effectiveness and VfM need to be evaluated
Major new factors relating to development and delivery of CPD • GDC regulatory changes • CPD review implementation • Health Education Wales

Relevant Recommendations of local CPD review Critical • To prioritise the enlargement of project-based or quality improvement centred CPD and to increase collaboration between the leads for these programmes as best practice, evidenced based approaches to CPD. • To review the content and recorded learning outcomes of existing activities and events, and to undertake a rationalisation of didactic delivery in particular, which does not fulfil the best-practice principles of CPD. • To undertake to provide/facilitate training for in-house CPD trainers and developers. • To consider the collaborative delivery of selected CPD activities to multidisciplinary primary care teams.
Process of implementing the review needs to move From input based – • ‘tick-box’ mentality • No evidence of learning or patient benefit • No ability to measure value To output based – • Evidence of outcomes and impacts • Effect on knowledge, behaviour and attitude • Impact on practice/ career/ patients
Health Education Wales • Commences April 2018 • Involves commissioning and planning • All medical and dental education • All other healthcare professions education • BOTH UG and PG
Critical priorities the dental section needs to work on • Review the content and recorded learning outcomes of existing activities and undertake a rationalisation of those that do not fulfil the best-practice principles of CPD. • Enlargement of project-based or quality improvement centred CPD • Undertake to provide/facilitate training for in-house CPD trainers and developers • facilitating individual identification of needs and reflection on development activity
What can we do that is different? • Multi disciplinary events • Online commitments • Study clubs • Action learning sets • Blended learning • Integrated audits
Evolution not Revolution • Development of an action plan • what are we going to deliver • When and how we implement change • Course booking system • Development of learning programme • Development of in house training for CPD tutors and developers
