English The aim of Dental Foundation Training (DFT) for General Dental Practice is to enable the Foundation Dentist (FD) to demonstrate the competence to carry out unsupervised dental practice, by developing the clinical skills learned as an undergraduate with administrative and practice management skills to promote high ethical standards and quality care for patients.
This aim is achieved by:
- Introducing the FD to general dental practice.
- Identifying personal strengths and weaknesses and balancing them through a planned programme of training.
- Enabling the FD to practice and improve skills free from undue financial pressure.
- Promoting the implementation of peer and self-review.
- Establishing the need for professional education, training and audit /quality improvement as a continuing process throughout the dentist’s professional life.
