About us

------------


The Department of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) was established in 1995 and offers comprehensive and structured CPD programmes for general dental practitioners, consultants, specialists and all other members of the dental team.



Short educational programmes and longer part-time substantive degree programmes are also offered, together with revision courses and distance learning programmes. This type of education and training is facilitated by the emphasis on small group teaching which is evidence-based.



Staff are experienced postgraduate teachers with high levels of clinical expertise. The Department delivers the Dental Manikin (DM) section of the Overseas Registration Examination (ORE) for the General Dental Council, as part of the ORE Consortium which consists of UCL Eastman Dental Institute, the Royal ENT and the Eastman Dental Hospital, Queen Mary University of London and the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

About the role

The main remit of the post is to ensure the development, coordination and smooth running of the postgraduate courses and programmes in the field of Prosthodontics, including related training and mentoring. Amongst many activities, the department offers prestigious part-time MSc Programmes for General Dental practitioners in Restorative Dental Practice.

The postholder will also play an active role in assisting the Deputy Programme Director, MSc Programme Director and Institute Director in the development and delivery of micro-credentials.



Importantly, as part of the role to help deliver Part 2 of the ORE, it will be essential to work approximately 5-10 weekends per year, plus some out-of-hours work from time to time to discharge the duties as required for the functioning of the ORE.



Starting salary at UCL Grade 8 will range from 54,172 to 62,035 per annum, depending on experience, with an additional London allowance of 4,613 (Pro rata for part time employees).



This is a 0.6FTE, 3 days per week position (typically Monday, Wednesday and Friday).
