Orthodontic Programmes

EU applicants for Orthodontic Programmes do not apply directly to the university for their training programmes – this process is for non-EU international students only. EU applicants apply for one of the 3 year salaried specialty registrar (StR) training programmes which are run through the local Deanery (Deaneries manage medical and dental training within the UK).

During one of these three year programmes you will usually sit for an academic university degree (MSc, MClinDent or similar) and also the Membership in Orthodontics (MOrth - which is a Royal College of Surgeons exam, not a university exam). If  the MOrth is passed and your training programme is completed to the satisfaction of the Deanery in question, then you would be eligible to apply to be included onto the GDC Specialist List for Orthodontics.

Notification of Terms to Applicants

The Deanery is currently seeking advice on whether it is classified as an Employment Agency for the purposes of the Employment Agencies Act 1973 (“the Act”) and associated regulations. In the meantime, you are notified of the following terms and conditions that will apply to the provision of services by the Deanery in connection with the recruitment of junior doctors to training programmes.

1. The services provided include a work-finding service for which the Act prohibits the Deanery from charging a fee.

2. The services provided by the Deanery will be provided without any charge to either junior doctors or the NHS employers that engage them.

3. If it is determined that the Act applies to the Deanery, the Deanery will operate as an employment agency in providing the services.

4. The Deanery is authorised to act for NHS employers that are offering training posts as part of the junior doctor training programme and is not authorised to enter into contracts with junior doctors on behalf of those employers.

By proceeding with the application process you are deemed to accept these terms and conditions.
