Welcome message from the Associate Dental Dean – Fleur Kellett
A warm welcome to Dental Foundation Training in the Midlands Region.
Midlands Region is an area of contrasts. You will find here cities, market towns and rural communities. Our training practices are to be found in all these areas, and in themselves are of very differing size and style. There are ten Dental Foundation Training Schemes in the Midlands Region, and links to their Scheme pages are to be found above..
In Midlands we believe strongly that individual people are important, and we try to ensure that your development is the driving force for your Dental Foundation Training year. Please use the links to gain more information and to see that each Dental Foundation Training Scheme provides an experience of high quality, combining excellent education with friendship and support. As a Foundation Trainee you will secure a fantastic opportunity, to build on the clinical skills and knowledge you acquired during undergraduate training, in a supported clinical environment.
Each of our schemes is run by a Training Programme Director (TPD) – they are highly experienced dental professional and still work clinically for part of their working week. Your TPD will oversee the study days and support you, together with your Educational Supervisor and wider practice team. Our team of TPDs are committed to ensuring you get the most out of your training year and will an invaluable source of support for you.
As Associate Dean for Dental Foundation Training, I oversee each scheme from a quality assurance perspective and closely with our team of TPDs to, and I am also another Educator who is there to support you throughout your training year.
Foundation Dentists enrolled on a Midlands training scheme will be employed via a Lead Employer model. In the Midlands region our Lead Employer is Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
I am proud that the Midland provides excellent training and has a committed and motivated team providing to support foundation trainees across the region.
Best regards,
Fleur Kellett
