National Dental Core training curriculum and assessment framework Ghazala Ahmad-Mear Associate Postgraduate Dental Dean HEEYH TPD Development Day Tankersley Manor 24 th November 2016
Background From September 2016 we have a DCT curriculum in the UK for the first time This presentation will provide training for trainers
Objectives Understanding the structure of dental core training in the UK Knowledge of the evidence required to demonstrate that a DCT has met the pre-agreed learning objectives Understand the format of the curriculum
DCT curriculum Aim : To improve educational standards for Dental Core Training whilst maintaining a focus on patient safety” Curriculum sets mandatory outcomes for all levels of DCT
Background DCT 1 focus on generic outcomes DCT 2/3 focus on further development of these with additional optional outcomes. Trainees will have PDP Certificate of achievement No DCT 4 posts. Max 3 year training programme.
DCT training -how is it different? Curricula usually start at point A and describe how a trainee moves to single exit point B and describes the outcomes required DCT has a single entry point- Dental Foundation (or equivalent) DCT is different in that it has multiple exit points
DCT training -how it fits together The route will depend on the trainee’s final proposed career path DCT 2 DPH DCT 3 DCT 1 Oral Surgery Paeds Restora tive
Structure of the Curriculum 1/2 Mandatory outcomes Optional outcomes • broad things that have to be done at DCT 1 or DCT 2/3 levels • Specialty specific outcomes • Agreed at the beginning of a training period which ones are to be met
Structure of the Curriculum 2/2 Examples of things that are used to provide evidence that the higher level outcomes have been met Behaviors (i. e. evidence of attitudes) Competency descriptors Skills There does not need to be evidence of every individual competence. Knowledge
Purpose of Dental Core Training 1/3 Dental Core Training will allow trainees to: • Experience training in a different setting/s • Work in a supportive environment with adequate supervision • Learn through service delivery ensuring that patients are not put at risk • Practise within their own level of competence • Development & feedback to reach higher levels of competence
Purpose of Dental Core Training 2/3 Learn from many different supervisors in different settings Learn to manage patients referred from Primary Care Become part of a large multidisciplinary team Consolidate knowledge of clinical and organisational governance including audit Learn to communicate with a wide variety of different healthcare workers
Purpose of Dental Core Training 3/3 Work with experts in their field Participate in local learning opportunities Develop leadership skills Study and take postgraduate exams Present at local/regional meetings Learn many new clinical skills Maintain a portfolio of learning development and formative assessment Develop their preference of career choice
NHS values and patient safety Values and commitment to patient safety A good trainee is a safe, compassionate and effective practitioner who is committed to high quality patient care and treats all patients with respect. The dental trainee will be expected to demonstrate the following values: Working together for patients Respect and dignity Care and compassion Improving lives Everyone counts Openness, honesty and responsibility Quality and teamwork
Expectations of DCTs Overall, the expectation of trainees is that they will drive their training against an agreed set of objectives and timeline in order to maximise their training opportunities and development. Clinical Supervisors, Educational supervisors and members of the Deanery or local HEE teams all have a role, but the primary responsibility for training progression sits with the individual trainee.

The Assessment of the Dental Core Trainee Learning agreement WBA (24 per year) Review of competence progression Certificate of achievement
Assessment Initial meeting to set smart objectives Review at 3 months Interim review of competency progression at 6 months Final competency review to agree outcomes achieved (or not achieved) Certificate of achievement
Quality management Programme management is local i. e. by country or HEE local team Existing arrangements to continue for now- COPDEND has set quality standards previously Systems are likely to vary by country HEE is developing a new educational quality management system and DCT will fit into that as it evolves External quality assurance systems to be considered ( GDC currently only QA specialty)
