About the Bath and West Scheme

Bath is one of England's most beautiful, elegant and historic cities, full of spectacular architecture, Georgian streets and has lovely surrounding countryside. It is also a fun place to spend time as it is a vibrant University city.   

The experienced and friendly trainers are there to provide the level of support that you need throughout your first year, enabling you to make the transition from working in a dental school to independent practice. A number of the trainers work part time at Bristol Dental Hospital and many have done a postgraduate clinical teaching course.    

The majority of practices are within a radius of 30 miles of Bath but a few are further away. Some of the practices are in small rural towns and while there is some public transport, it is often pretty limited and to be independent you may feel it essential to have your own transport. 

Main Study Day Venue

Study days will be held at various venues. FDs are advised to check their scheme timetable.
