Brought to you by the BDA, this podcast series explores the unlimited, unexpected and maybe even unknown opportunities that qualifying as a dentist open up to you. Join our host, Andrea Ogden GDP, as she chats to dental professionals from across the UK who discuss the paths they took that changed the course of their careers. Over six episodes we cover the topics that so many young dentists and undergraduates told us you wanted. We discuss everything from specialty training, starting a business, mixing up your career with non-clinical roles to undertaking FD/VT training, working with kids, the CDS and within prisons and even leaving UK clinical dentistry entirely. These are frank, honest and inspiring conversations that reveal just how much flexibility, opportunity and variety there is within the world of dentistry.

We’re chairside with three dentists who have completed foundation training and have had vastly different experiences.
Learn about the course options available, and how they differ. Does a year-long course or a longitudinal option have an impact on the amount of support received? Does location really matter?
Join us for an honest and open discussion on Dental Foundation Training and Vocational Training in urban cities and rural highlands.
