The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland are now working together to introduce an Intercollegiate approach to assessment.
The new assessment strategy for nine dental specialties has been published by the four Surgical Royal Colleges of the UK and Ireland. The strategy outlines the different methods of assessment that will be in place for dental trainees from Autumn 2026. The strategy outlines the different methods of assessment both in the workplace and through examination within the relevant training programme.
The Dental Specialty Fellowship Examinations requires an Examination Boards Chairperson to support and provide oversight for the examinations on behalf of the four Colleges, as well as Examination Board Chairs for each of the 10 Specialties. The DSFE website will be constantly updated with the latest information. Access the below documents for detailed information.
