Learning Content
Dental Technicians are the only GDC registrant group that has fallen in the numbers since registration. We have now lost almost one third since registration began in 2008. What can the profession and the industry do to reverse this. Can our education programmes attract new learners? How can laboratories support students to achieve registration. How can we expand the career opportunities.
- Apprenticeships leading to registration, understanding how they work - How to mentor the learners and support their education and skills training - How to develop dental technology as a career.
Aims
To enable our industry to be involved in education and training of dental technicians and reverse the decline in numbers of registered GDC technicians. Be part of the solution, not the problem.
