Appointment to DFT Training.
After accepting a training post in Yorkshire and the Humber, and prior to starting this post, the following stages must be completed:
Your University may have already done this for you.
If not, please apply via the GDC Website: https://www.gdc-uk.org/professionals/registration
Trainees have the option to preference the training practices.
All successful trainees will be sent a link, after recruitment has been completed, which will contain a practice profile of the approved training practices in the trainees' allocated area (Area 1, Area 2, Area 3 or DFTDCT). This will take place in mid-June, once the outcomes of the university final exams are known.
The list of practices in the region will not be available before this date.
The trainee will then rank all of the practices in their area via an online portal and will be advised of their allocated training practice shortly afterwards.
You will receive notification from Dental Support when this process will open and the deadline for completing the ranking.
Guidance on how to join the NHS Performer List, getting a DBS check, arranging an Occupational Health Assessment is available on the PCSE website: https://pcse.england.nhs.uk/services/performers-lists/
Please register for Maxcourse using this link: https://www.maxcourse.co.uk/yhpd/guestHome.asp
All study days will be advertised and booked via Maxcourse.
As a trainee you hold two contracts; a training contract with HEE and an employment contract with your employing practice. Trainees on the DFT/DCT programme will hold an employment contract with Leeds Teaching Hospitals, rather than their dental practice.
You will be emailed a training contract to be completed and returned. This is to confirm that you understand the requirements of the training programme.
You will also be contacted by your employer regarding your employment contract. This confirms the terms and conditions of your employment including salary, annual leave etc.
Once appointed, please contact Dental Support with a non-University email address. This email address will be used to set up your eportfolio.
The Dental Eportfolio is available here: https://www.dftportfolio.nhs.uk/login.
Existing users (trainers) will continue to use their previous log in details.
All new users will be sent log in details by the national eportfolio team.
