Following the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the preferred delivery format for all our Dental Core training (DCT) programmes is online courses. Many regular DCT events will become blended learning experiences. These may include a mixture of some or all of the following; Turas information page, pre-session coursework or groupwork tasks, recommended topic familiarisation or reading resources, a live online session with a trainer and a Teams group. 

Details of the activities that are able to proceed will be posted on the Turas pages for DCT1, DCT2, DCT3/ PDCTF, as and when they become available.  

Certain links on these pages are open only to those within the pre-defined Dental Core Trainee (DCT) learning group for the relevant training cohort. Please contact the team email if you have any queries about this.   dentalcoretraining@nes.scot.nhs.uk
