Workforce, training and education
Yorkshire and Humber

We are delighted to offer extensive training across all dental specialties. Our team of trainers are dedicated to helping specialist trainees meet more than just the minimum standards required by the General Dental Council (GDC). Any registered dentist can choose to work in a dental specialty but only those on the GDC’s specialist lists can call themselves a ‘specialist’. Dental specialists must hold full GDC registration and a certificate of completion of specialist training.

We have both NHS and NIHR funded StR posts.
