ADG partners with Tipton Training to support dental provision

The Association of Dental Groups (ADG) has announced a partnership with Tipton Training to support the future of dentistry by strengthening training and education services for ADG members.

The ADG is the trade body covering NHS, private, and community-based dentistry;while, Tipton Training, which was founded by Professor Paul Tipton, is Europe’s leading private post-graduate dental training provider.

The new partnership will allow ADG members to benefit from access to training which is shown to help elevate a dental practice, delivering financial returns overtime through offering more treatment options, helping increase private earnings,and improving knowledge and skills.

There are courses that cover restorative dentistry, operative dentistry, aesthetic dentistry, dental implantology, and dental therapy – as well as Overseas Registration Examination (ORE) courses which help international dentists prepare for, and pass, the ORE Parts 1 and 2.

By supporting performance in the ORE, the courses offer the potential to help plug the significant gap in the dental workforce by helping trained overseas dentists work in the UK.

Neil Carmichael, executive chair of the ADG, said: “We believe it is imperative we look to support the future of dentistry, and part of that is to ensure the very-best dental training is offered to the workforce.

“We must support the future of dentistry and help practice groups grow which ultimately will benefit patient care.

“We are grateful to Tipton Training for the exclusive offer granted to the ADG and urge our members to sign up and take advantage of the wide range of training courses.”

Les Pringle, chief executive of Tipton Training, added: “We are delighted to enter into this partnership with the ADG.

“Working together allows Tipton Training to extend our support to a wider community of dental professionals, helping to enhance skills, confidence, and patient care across the UK.

“This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to developing an agile,professional, and inclusive dental workforce, and we are proud to offer ADG members exclusive opportunities to advance their careers through our courses.”
