Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, RCSI

Dear Colleagues,

The RCSI Postgraduate Lecture series is now in its fifth year. The purpose of the programme is to provide an opportunity for dentists who wish to update their knowledge on the current concepts relative to general dental practice and also for those who are actively pursuing additional postgraduate qualifications. Indeed the lectures are particularly suited to preparation for the Diploma of Primary Care Dentistry and MFD.

The lecture series combines basic sciences, practice management, practical tips and indeed the whole range of dental practice. We are fortunate that the speakers who have agreed to present at the meetings are all experts in their chosen areas. You will be familiar with some of these speakers but the Faculty also actively encourages more recently qualified colleagues, who may be less well known, to present topics of relevance.

The format of the presentations is short lecture based and the concept is “maximum knowledge in minimum time.”

As part of the Autumn programme the Faculty will hold an Intensive Revision Course on September 5th 2015. This intensive review course is increasingly being availed of as a method of revision both for the Diploma of Primary Care Dentistry and the MFD examinations.

The excellent team of lecturers assembled for the day have been given the brief of providing information in the form of five tips relevant to the area they have been asked to present. There is a wide diversity of topics from infection control to prosthodontics and there will be practice question sessions along with an exam overview to assist potential candidates.

It promises to be an exciting, intensive day and I look forward to seeing you there.

I hope you enjoy the programme and any suggestions you have for improvements or future topics are always welcome.

Dr. John WalshDean of the Faculty of Dentistry
