Description
This Master’s-level degree course in Periodontics is specifically designed for busy dental clinicians seeking to develop specialist-level expertise in periodontology. Designed with flexibility and easy access to learning in mind, this part-time programme aligns directly with the General Dental Council (GDC) approved UK Specialty Curriculum in Periodontics.
The curriculum delivers all the theoretical learning outcomes in the curriculum but does not include the clinical training component that the full-time programme includes. This provides learners with the theoretical knowledge, necessary to underpin clinical practice, required by a UK Specialist and helps prepare them for the Specialty Summative Examinations administered by the Royal Colleges of Surgeons.
This part-time programme aims to enhance participants’ abilities in confidently diagnosing, managing, and treating patients with periodontal disease. It provides the same theoretical learning as that provided for learners on the full-time programme, but does not include a supervised clinical component.
Through a learner-centred, practice-oriented approach, it empowers learners by enhancing their theoretical foundation and clinical proficiency (in a simulated environment) to allow them to provide high-quality care in the management of periodontal conditions.
