Quality Management Visits and Reviews

Introduction

NHS Education for Scotland (NES) strives to achieve excellence in dental education and training and is responsible for upholding the educational standards outlined by the General Dental Council (GDC), and is committed to improving the quality of postgraduate dental education provided to all trainees across the Scottish Deanery.

Quality Management Visits and Reviews are a key element of the work undertaken as part of the Dental Directorate Quality Management Framework. Visits and reviews enable NES to make an assessment regarding the quality of a training environment provided by local education providers (LEPs) or within a particular training programme, and specifically whether training satisfactorily meets the GDC's Standards for Specialty Education.
