Bristol and South Cotswold Scheme

The Bristol FD Scheme has a fantastic group of experienced Educational Supervisors who are all committed to ensuring your smooth transition to working in practice. With the support of such high-quality teams, well-equipped practices and caring Educational Supervisors, you will quickly be practising the kind of dentistry you were trained to provide for your patients. 

As TPD, I try to assemble a range of speakers who will respect your undergraduate teaching but also call on you to challenge it. The ethos of the scheme is to value your experience and contribution in a postgraduate environment ensuring you feel part of a bigger family – the Bristol Scheme. Be prepared to learn from your colleagues as confidential, honest discussion between peers in the supportive atmosphere of a study day is a powerful tool for helping you resolve problems you may be facing.  

Our induction covers the nuts and bolts of surviving the transition to practice and the essential elements for successful completion of the year. Close proximity to Bristol Dental Hospital allows some excellent hands-on study days. The Bristol scheme is the only scheme in the SW to take part in a practical IV Sedation & Oral Surgery Day. The South West FD Project allows FDs the opportunity to complete a community engagement project and full training and support is provided. 

The Bristol Scheme is one of the most compact schemes geographically, which means you will have colleagues on hand to socialise with and a great city to explore. 

Bristol Educational Supervisors have an infectious enthusiasm for dentistry and will happily invest their time in you to help you achieve your potential in practice.
