Dental Core Training 1

Welcome to the learning area for Dental Core Trainees (DCT) 1.

DCT 1 educational events

Your 12 months in a DCT1 training post will be split between the Hospital Dental Service (HDS) and the Public Dental Service (PDS). The events you attend are based on which service your post is currently in.

The DCT1 Education programme has some events that everybody attends, whether you are in HDS or PDS, and some which you only attend when you are in the PDS 6 month part of your post. Scroll down to the end of this page for detailed event information tables and links to the individual supporting Turas learn course pages.

If you are a DCT1 in hospital then attend the events in the blue column number 2 on the programme.  Hospital includes General Dental Hospital (GDH) posts and Oral maxillofacial(OMFS) based posts,
