Quality Assurance of Specialty Education
The plan to undertake quality assurance activity across all dental specialty programme and examination deaneries and Faculties of the Royal Colleges is in progress, and we plan to have completed this by the end of 2022.

Once we have quality assured all deaneries and Faculties of the Royal Colleges of dental specialist education, we will review the most effective means to quality assure specialist education and training going forward. This may include a level of regular monitoring and/or exception reporting. Alternatively, we may consider it necessary to repeat some self-assessment activity for particular deaneries or Faculties against the Standards for Specialty Education. We may also consider revisions to the Standards for Specialty Education. This is an iterative process and we are keen to ensure that we identify and respond as necessary to areas of concern in a proportionate manner.
