Overview

The Advanced and Specialist Healthcare (Advanced Dental Clinical Practice) programme from University of Kent is delivered by Kent's Global and Lifelong Learning (GLL) team, based at the Medway campus. It is a joint collaboration between GLL and the Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK) (FGDP (UK)).

Key Features

The programme is for candidates who have successfully completed an FGDP post-registration Diploma or other appropriate programmes may apply for direct access entry with advanced standing of 90 credits to the next available MSc in Advanced and Specialist Healthcare cohort.

provide supervision for advanced practitioner-centred research that builds a culture of evaluation and enquiry into the practice environment
equip experienced practitioners for their role in challenging, questioning and realigning strategies for specialist practice
develop confident senior practitioners who are able to participate in the development of practice, and work effectively with organisational interests and evidence-based processes within complex multidisciplinary teams.
