Abstract

This publication reports a meeting of the stakeholders of dental
education in the UK, hosted by the Council of Heads and Deans
of Dental Schools (CHDDS). The meeting, held in Manchester,
UK on 4–5 October 2007, occurred within days of the seventh
anniversary of a dental hospitals and schools policy retreat
hosted by the then Council of Deans of Dental Schools and the
Association for Dental Hospitals. The proceedings of the retreat,
intended to raise awareness and stimulate discussion on matters
important to the planning of the future provision of dental education
in the UK, were published in the form of a supplement
to the European Journal for Dental Education (1).
The principal purpose of the meeting of stakeholders of dental
education reported in the present publication was to raise and
stimulate discussions on issues considered important to the further
development of dental education in the UK. A secondary,
but by no means less important purpose of the meeting was to
give members of the CHDDS opportunity to interact with other
stakeholders in dental education and, in the process, facilitate a
shared understanding of existing and, in certain respects increasing
tensions and challenges in the UK dental education system.
