The purpose of Dental Postgraduate Education in Wales is to improve the Oral Health care of people living in Wales by consistently delivering the highest standards of Continuing Post Registration and Specialist Education for Dentists and Dental Care Professionals in Wales. In order to meet this commitment we seek to ensure that we have a well trained team of professional Educators who are equipped with the highest standard of dental equipment and facilities. This site introduces the key people involved in delivering our role and objectives.

Funding from The Welsh Government was received to support the increase in number of Dental Foundation posts to 74 places. This will match the number of dentists graduating from the School of Dentistry  in Cardiff.  In addition, the first specialty trainee in ‘Dental & Maxillofacial Radiology’ was also funded by The Welsh Government and the first two trainees in ‘Special Care Dentistry’ also commenced training. We would like to thank The Welsh Government and the CDO’s office for their continuing support in developing dental postgraduate education in Wales.

We continue to promote, evaluate and analyse the educational activities that we provide. We are reviewing a variety of projects including e-learning and other CPD activities for dental healthcare professionals identifying areas of best practice in order to improve our delivery of education and training opportunities.
