This study evaluates Dental Foundation Training (DFT) in the context of the Francis Report recommendations. Results of questionnaires sent to trainees and educational supervisors involved in DFT highlighted the importance of an educational supervisor as a positive role model, the value of the informal curriculum in developing an organisational culture of professionalism, leadership and ethics, and the developmental benefits of experiential learning. DFT needs to create an optimal learning environment which should promote the benefits of reflection, positive role modelling and active participation by foundation trainees in their professional community and organisational culture. The findings of this study confirm the crucial role DFT plays in the development of safe, ethical and effective practitioners. It also underlines the need for clear and consistent UK wide standards of DFT supported by strong leadership and management, underpinned by skilled, professional educational supervisors, and effectively quality assured.
