The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow are working together to introduce an intercollegiate approach to Specialty Curricula assessment.  

There is now an opportunity to develop the curriculum and assessment for an Advanced Fellowship in Orthodontics. The new examination will start in 2028, and the exam board chair will be asked to play an important role in developing these and work with the team supporting the new exam. 

The colleges are looking for an examination board chair for the Advanced Fellowship in Orthodontics and are inviting applications for this role, starting in February. 

They are seeking someone with an interest in dental education and assessment, ideally demonstrated with a relevant postgraduate qualification. Applicants must have at least three years’ experience in a substantive consultant post within the UK. 

The post is an honorary position and, therefore, is not salaried. Allowable expenses are reimbursed. The successful applicant is expected to commit to the role for four years. 

More information and the full job description can be found on the Dental Specialty Fellowship Examinations website

The closing date for applications is 9am on 26 January.
