Dental Vocational Training (VT)

Please see link here to the Therapy Vocational Training Core Curriculum.  

The Therapist Educational Memorandum of Understanding is a document which outlines in broad terms the expectations of Therapist Vocational Training.  

It provides details of what NHS Education for Scotland expects of Therapist Vocational Trainees, and what Therapist Vocational Trainees can expect of NHS Education for Scotland.

This guidance document explains the obligations for a VDP attending study days during their Scottish Dental Vocational Training programme. 

As an employee of NES you will follow the NHS Scotland Workforce Attendance Policy.  

To apply this policy to VT, please use this Sickness and Absence Reporting Procedure.

Travel and subsistence can be claimed for attending Vocational Training study days. This can be reimbursed via the Therapist Vocational Training travel and expenses form. A link to this form will be added here in due course. ​​​

Please refer to TVT Travel and Subsistence Expense Guidance 2025-26 prior to completing the form.

All claims should be submitted directly to NES.VTfinance@nhs.scot and only one claim per calendar month.  Claims submitted to any other mailbox will be returned unpaid.
