Educational Supervisors
We strongly advise that Educational Supervisors do not take any holidays during the first 4 weeks of Foundation Training. This is a valuable period for both Educational Supervisor and Foundation Dentist, to form a strong working relationship and allows time for the Foundation Dentist to become accustomed to the practice.
Foundation Dentists
The study day programme is an essential part of Foundation Training. Therefore Foundation Dentist's must not take holidays during term time, attendance at study days is mandatory and essential for certification at the end of training.
