According to the Royal College of Surgeons the purpose of foundation training in dentistry is to enhance clinical and administrative competence and promote high standards through relevant postgraduate training to meet the needs of general dental practice.   

Philips has introduced a series of initiatives to help those who are newly qualified take their first steps towards independent practice.

 

To fuel their thirst for knowledge foundation dentists are being offered free access to a professionals-only website, giving them access education and support in the form of CPD material, mentoring, tutorials, and other information to smooth their path into effective professionalism.   Dubbed The Support Programme –the tsp website also features webcasts, downloadable articles and an active Q & A section allowing FDs to pose questions to a series of dental experts.

Commenting on the launch Mhari Coxon, Philips’ Professional Marketing and Relations senior manager stated “We havecreated a platform to deliver information on our Philips Oral Health portfolio, mentoring and support for Young Dentists’ development as professionals; a chance to interact and share with their peers, and Continuing Professional Development in the form of webinars and articles. We will also provide small group opportunities to meet with some of the leading dental professionals in the UK to learn and share in a quality environment.”
