I have just been looking through the most recent issue of Vital and discovered that the DCP course directory (Vital summer 2010 pages 13–16) contained incomplete information about education in Edinburgh.

The University of Edinburgh runs a four year Honours degree in Oral Health Sciences of which I am Programme Director. Within the Dental Institute we also run a Diploma in Dental Therapy module for qualified dental hygienists, the Diploma in Orthodontic Therapy, a dental nurse training programme and various Certificates for Dental Nurses, post-qualification. Lots going on here for DCPs!
