Hi doctor, is it better to appear for the ORE as a fresher dentist or shall I apply for registration as a dental hygienist? Which of the two decisions is the wiser one?
It depends on your individual circumstances , visa status and career pathway. If you are keen to practice as a dentist and you are able to get the booking for ORE - go for it. If you have a UK dependent visa and you can arrange the paperwork for DCP application , then apply for the hygienist / therapist role.
This depends on 2 things :- 1) Luck - if you can get the booking for the exam. Since due to covid ORE has not been held for the past 2 years and there is no update as to when it will be resumed. 2) Ability - Your ability to study and absorb knowledge as well as skills to perform tasks on manikin. On an average students may at least take 2 years to pass these exams.
I recently relocated to the uk with my wife and want a proper guidance and preparation,also to good materials.And also advice on any available related dental job that i can get engaged with for the interim.
Mam, i am student of B.S Dental. Our course subjects are exactly similar to that of BDS and our university also issue us a certificate of dental therapists. Our degree name is dental technology. Can we work as dental therapist in UK and what would be requirements for that?
I am not sure if this course. By the name , I thought its related to dental technician. But as you say that you have a certificate of dental therapist, I advice you to fill the 'route to registration' form on the gdc website. This will lead you to DCP performa. Here you may select either dental technician , dental therapist or both. Once you submit this , you will receive the application pack. Kindly go through the learning outcome forms for both roles. Try to refer simultaneously with your dental qualification syllabus book. You will understand whether your degree is able to answer the questions asked for technician / therapist. Based on this you can continue to complete the whole application and do some relevant CPD courses if required. Good luck 👍
@@muhammadnauman514 You should have a relevant qualification and be registered with the GDC under that role. Kindly go through this document www.gdc-uk.org/docs/default-source/registration-for-dcps-qualified-overseas/preparing-for-practice-(revised-2015)-(3)9cfe2565e7814f6b89ff98149f436bc7.pdf?sfvrsn=ab3900f4_7
No , you need to be having at least 1600 hrs of clinical work experience. And this can be easily achieved, as you could include internship hours as well
Depending upon from where you undertake the training courses it varies.... There are lot of tutors who provide courses for osces , dtp , manikin and medical emergencies. It also depends on you, weather you think you will need courses for each of the above mentioned areas or just for one of them. Regarding dental material and equipment - Price varies if you are buying a new set or second hand. This also depends on how much practice you require to do before you appear for the exam. Some people need to work on manikin for longer and therefore need to purchase more of artificial teeth.
Before brexit the rules were different for an European dentist. But now things have changed. It is best to send your enquiry to the GDC directly or alternatively you can follow this 'route to registration questionnaire' which will lead you further. www.egdc-uk.org/Application/RouteToRegistration
