Dental Foundation Training Places

The British Dental Association has warned The Department of Health (DH) that they must act immediately to avert the possibility of UK dentistry graduates being denied foundation training places (DFT) again in 2013.
It follows an announcement that the number of applicants invited to take place in the applications process exceeds the estimated number of available training places by almost 200.
Figures published by the UK Committee of Postgraduate Dental Deans and Directors (COPDEND) last week (26 October 2012) confirm that 1,139 applicants will be competing for the estimated 952 funded training places in NHS practices that will be available.
