The newly revised Dental Specialty Training curricula were introduced in September 2024. They can be accessed on the GDC website: https://www.gdc-uk.org/education-cpd/dental-education/quality-assurance/specialty-curricula
Dentists currently in training in all specialties should move to the most recent GDC approved curriculum and its programme of assessment as soon as it is feasibly possible, taking account of patient and trainee safety whilst also balancing the needs of the service.
Please see the DST Curricula Transition Arrangements document below for durther details.
