Rodericks Dental Partners offers the FD+1 programme, designed specifically to help dentists successfully transition from foundation dentist (FD) to associate.
The scheme offers hands-on teaching in a range of topics from restorative dentistry to endodontics, clinical photography, composite bonding and oral surgery. It also gives dentists a dedicated Clinical Support Lead who will hold regular meetings and drop-in sessions to discuss their progress and answer their questions.
Dr Pooja Gupta is currently benefiting from the FD+1 programme and says:
“I have really enjoyed the opportunity to access practical study days to improve my skills and knowledge in a useful way. This has helped ease the transition from FD to associate. The knowledge that I have someone to message when I am unsure or would like a second opinion has been very reassuring.
“Overall, the FD+1 programme has allowed me to grow my confidence and skills within a safe environment and has provided me with opportunities which I would not otherwise have been able to access. I’d definitely recommend working at Rodericks Dental Partners.”
