The dental postgraduate section of Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) supports postgraduate education and training for the whole dental workforce (dentists and dental care professionals) in Wales.

This includes Dental Foundation, Dental Core and Dental Specialty Training for dentists and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for dentists and dental care professionals (DCP). These activities are underpinned by appropriate educational research and quality assurance to ensure that they are of a high standard to meet the needs of dental professionals in support of their care for their patients.
