Syllabus

PPD4 focuses upon leadership, management and trust within the dental team. It uses reflective learning to explore the role of the dentist as a member of a wider healthcare team. Significantly, this module operates at M level reflecting the clinical and professional competences associated with the graduating dental surgeon.

The introductory lectures are followed by two interactive seminars, led by interdisciplinary ethics tutors, where teamworking and trust are explored in greater depth. Relevant ethical duties, such as raising concerns, are explored via the lectures, seminars, and reflective learning exercises.

You log your own critical clinical teamworking incidents, and draw upon them for a reflective essay. This assignment challenges you to demonstrate creative and novel solutions to problems.

Finally, a career pathways symposium helps you to explore different career pathways for the newly qualified dentist and to learn about the Dental Foundation Training process.
