Dentistry
Relevant QAA Subject Benchmark Groups:
The Dentistry Benchmarking statement has been consulted. The then programme manager was a member of the Benchmarking panel in Dentistry (2001). The new programme and its subsequent amendments have been developed with reference to this and crucially, to the General Dental Council's (GDC) requirements on the undergraduate dental curriculum, 'The First Five Years' (2008) and the most recent statement on 'Preparing for Practice 2012'
Programme specification:
The programme will:
be innovative, in that it will integrate clinical practice and the supporting science from its start. The students on this programme will have early patient contact and be taught with other members of the dental team. The School educates members of the dental team to become proactive, knowledgeable, reflective, caring, ethical, well rounded professionals with an understanding for the need to continually develop as the populations needs change. We will provide extensive student support throughout the course via the dedicated educational Student Support Team.
The Dental Surgery programme provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge and understanding, skills, qualities and other attributes required to be a practicing dental surgeon. The Programme Learning Outcomes are derived from the General Dental Council’s requirements [1] which establishes seven overarching outcomes which must be demonstrated a newly qualified dental surgeon. These overarching outcomes form the key principles of effective and professional practice that run through four main domains, namely:
• Clinical
• Communication
• Professionalism
• Management and Leadership
Upon graduation, students will be able to demonstrate the following programme learning outcomes:
1. Practise safely and effectively, making the high quality long term care of patients the first concern.
2. Recognise the role and responsibility of being a registrant of the GDC and demonstrate continuing professionalism throughout their education, training and practice in accordance with GDC guidance.
3. Demonstrate effective clinical decision making.
4. Describe the principles of good research, how to access research and interpret it for use as part of an evidence-based approach to practice.
5. Apply an evidence-based approach to learning, practice, clinical judgment, decision-making and utilising thinking and problem-solving skills.
6. Accurately assess their own capabilities and limitations, demonstrating reflective practice, in the interest of high quality patient care and act within these boundaries.
7. Recognise the importance of lifelong learning and apply it to practice.
