Dental Core Trainees (DCT) who have a training post with an OMFS unit placement in the Scotland Deanery are required to attend the Maxfacts course. This is a two day in-person training event, which takes place in early September at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee in NHS Tayside.

DCTs that should attend will be booked onto the Maxfacts course automatically and further information will be sent out by email.  Check junk folders if you are missing an email, as these can sometimes end up mistakenly in spam.   You must apply for study leave to attend this course and claim back any expenses. 

Please contact the team if you have any queries relating to the course.
