  1. Dental department MDECSAND DENTISTRY Opportunities and challenges June 2010

  2. More people access dental services more than any other healthcare service. Oral health must be considered as a key component to general health care

  3. Dentistry in London • 28% of the national output of dentists are from London UG schools • London deanery is the only deanery to train for all 13 dental specialties • We provide and commission continuing professional development (CPD) for the whole dental team • London trains 250 Dental Foundation trainees per year

  4. Education to support service delivery

  5. Where are we now? • DF2 bundle out for tender. Lead Providers have been signed on to the framework • The hope and anticipation is that LPs have engaged with existing LEPs • The SoR and draft ITT have addressed quality issues, training in more than one setting, mapping and delivery of the DF curriculum

  6. Benefits of the Commissioner /Provider separation – DF2 • Raising the profile of dentistry within the Lead providers • Innovative programmes that will ensure training in more than one setting • An engagement with providers to raise standards • The possibility of combined DF1 and DF2 programmes in • the future

  7. Benefits & Challenges of the C/P separation – DF1 • DF1 training within the primary care setting raises contractual challenges • There are no natural LPs for DF1 and therefore development of the market will be key • An opportunity perhaps to pilot the C/P separation within • primary care in both GDS and GP using consortia. • For dentistry an opportunity for new ways of delivering DF1 training with clear water between commissioner and provider

  8. What are the challenges for dental education? DF1

  9. Benefits and challenges of the C/P separation - CPD • The dental part of the deanery, provides courses and CPD to the whole • dental team. Cf medicine • This is done via dental tutors, and DCP (dental care professional ) • tutors who are linked to the sectors of London • Poor performance and referral from GDC, PCTs etc is managed by the • deanery. Will this be commissioned with Dental CPD? • e-Wisdom is a valuable resource for revalidation. PDP setting to inform the need for CPD is essential

  10. Thank you
