The Kent Dental Mentoring Study Group provides lectures, unique insight, and a chance to meet with fellow dental professionals. Check out our events diary...
For a number of years there has been something of a gap in postgraduate education and mentoring in the Kent area specifically for dentists. Younger dentists, those who work for large corporates and even experienced colleagues do not always have a forum where they can learn and obtain valuable advice and support personally from experienced peers in a non-judgmental and agenda-free environment.
We have established this mentoring and study group for local dentists to meet together and have access to peer-to-peer learning opportunities, in which the sole interest of the mentors is the encouragement, empowerment and support of fellow colleagues. We also wish to encourage better links between primary and secondary care. We welcome and encourage dental foundation trainees to attend as this study group as it will be an excellent means of developing links with more experienced colleagues and may also encourage them to consider a long-term future in the area.
Please contact us to book a place via the email link below. These are free events which will generate valuable CPD and are supported by a team of experienced dental mentors based across general practice and in the hospital service. We anticipate a high demand so please get in touch right away to secure a place at each lecture.
