The Faculty of Dentistry at the Royal College of Surgeons has launched a three-year FFD speciality programme in paediatric dentistry, in association with Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar.

The programme, which will see Hamad residents taking the FFD examination in 2020, will feature a series of lecture modules covering the essential aspects of paediatric dentistry and is also open to dentists in Ireland.

The first lecture will take place on 18 March in the Albert Theatre, RCSI and attendance at the first module is free of charge. Details of additional modules will be available in due course and the cost of attending the ongoing modules will be in line with the RCSI’s existing postgraduate modules
held throughout the year.
