DFT Regional Schemes.
There are 8 schemes within the Yorkshrie and the Humber Dental Foundation Training.
The JDFCT Scheme is a unique combination of Secondary care Hospital posts and Primary care Dental Practice posts, alternated in the one educational programme over a 2-year period. It brings with it many challenges but also synergies, to produce a very well rounded and experienced Clinician, prepared for the future challenges and developments in dental care.
The Programme Director for the JDFCT scheme is Ian Wilson who has a wealth of experience in UK General Practice, working overseas and community outreach to marginalised communities.
Ian is an experienced TPD and an innovator regarding coaching & Emotional Intelligence within the workplace

Who runs the Scheme?
The NY2 scheme is run by Isobel Greenstreet (i.greenstreet@nhs.net) who has had many years experience as an Educational Supervisor and working in NHS Dental Practice.
“Being an FD is one of the most exciting times of your professional career: there is a great deal to learn and space to grow. Therefore, I recommend that you fully engage with both with the foundation training scheme and your colleagues to maximise your learning in this crucial year.“
How is the WY3 Scheme run?
The Dewsbury scheme is spread across training practices mainly around Bradford, Leeds and Wakefield. The DF1 study days are most often held on Fridays, at the Oakwell Centre at Dewsbury District Hospital. There are a variety of away days throughout the year to help trainees broaden their experience.
Who runs the Dewsbury Scheme?
The scheme’s director is Tony Kilcoyne. He has over 30 years’ experience training undergraduates and postgraduates. He has served as an appointed dental member of the GDC, a Board BDA Director, teaches many educational courses locally and nationally, covering areas such as advanced Restorative treatments, Practice Management, the Psychology of patient care and Emotional Intelligence. Tony is also a Specialist in Prosthodontics (Crowns, Bridges, Implants, Dentures etc) and runs his own specialist dental practice.
Tony's philosophy is to help trainees achieve their best and challenge them to become thinking dentists for the 21st Century.
"With Foundation Training, you will get out of it what you put into it personally and professionally. I have been very proud to have been involved long enough to see foundation dentists who have come through their training here in Yorkshire and have gone on to establish great professional careers elsewhere in the UK."
