Dental Foundation Training Programme Director - Norfolk and Waveney Partner at John G Plummers and Associates Dental Surgeons. PGCert in Education and Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Leadership and Executive Management. Member of the Norfolk LDC Creator of the Happy Smiles Club promoting Oral Health awareness in parents and children.
Hands on practical sessions are run at the Technical Skills Laboratory at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and include: oral surgery, endodontics, composites, amalgam, removable prosthodontics, paedodontics and endodontics. Virtual study days are run in small groups and develop essential tools for a GDP : NHS rules and regulations, medico legal topics, health and safety, dental emergencies, pain and anxiety, audit and public health.
The foundation dentists (FDs) gain a huge amount of clinical experience working 5 days a week in primary care NHS dental practices. They also attend 25 study days covering all aspects of the dental foundation training curriculum. These will aim to not only improve clinical abilities acquired at university but introduce new techniques. There are also study days designed to improve leadership and management skills essential for primary care.
DENTAL FOUNDATION TRAINING Dr Suzanne Plummer
Dental Foundation Training is thriving in Norfolk and Waveney. This September we welcome another 13 recently qualified dentists to the area. These young dentists work in approved training practices that have been selected not only for their great facilities and customer service but have been identified as supportive and nurturing environments.
The aim of the program is to plot the pathway from “safe beginner” to “independent practitioner”. Progress is recorded on an online e-portfolio and assessed at the end of the year by an external review panel. Most of the FDs remain in primary care, with a few taking dental core training positions (DCTs). All FDs appreciate the support and guidance they are given by their host practices and HEE as they make the difficult transition from dental student to dental professional. My role as a the TPD for Norfolk and Waveney is to design the study day program and support the training practices and foundation dentists in their journey through the foundation year. Foundation training is very rewarding. More information on the foundational dental program in the East of England can be found on: https://heeoe.hee.nhs.uk
DENTAL FOUNDATION TRAINING The foundation dentists benefit from several peer review exercises. At key points during the year the FDs present one of three clinical cases each with an increasing complexity. They also complete a practice based clinical audit and submit four reflective writing pieces on aspects of general practice (infection control, radiology, medical emergencies and clinical communication).
