“…4 Indeed much of the curricula relating to postgraduate dental training will have been covered in part during the postgraduate foundation, general surgical, and oral and maxillofacial surgery training. 5,6 Despite this, very few are keen to have an academic portion to their career. Indeed only 9.9% are keen for research to be a part of their consultant career.…”

Those involved in appointing to training programmes will now be able to see the level of competition. Future applicants to training programmes in oral and maxillofacial surgery in the United Kingdom are now aware of the level of competition. OMFS is not immune to the 'academic crisis' that exists in other surgical specialties, and the completion of higher degrees and entry in to academic careers should be encouraged and supported among trainees with an interest.

“…There is also a joint position statement from COPDEND and the British Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS/COPDEND 2011) intended as guidance on the provision of education, training and healthcare by a dental Foundation Year 2 in an OMFS department. A qualitative comparison has already been completed on the overlap between dental foundation training curricula and that of the medical foundation training curricula and the core surgery training curricula.…”

Aim This study aims to determine the training and confidence in the management of cervical spine (c‐spine) injuries amongst first on‐call trainees in oral & maxillofacial surgery(OMFS) units working in the UK. The dental training curricula pertaining to these trainees shall be reviewed to determine the relevant knowledge and skills currently deemed appropriate. Materials & Methods A questionnaire was sent to 100 UK OMFS first on call trainees. This determined their primary qualification(s), previous experience in OMFS, prior training and confidence in the management of C‐spine injuries. Dental training curricula were analysed for sections relating to cervical spine injuries. Results Sixty‐six questionnaires were returned. 70% were from singly qualified dental graduates. The mean experience in OMFS was 16.3 months. 59% of respondents had no cervical spine training. Of those who had received training, 66.7% received this by an advanced trauma life support (ATLS) course. 63% of oral & maxillofacial trainees were not confident in assessing and managing potential cervical spine injuries. 95% stated that training in the assessment and management of cervical spine injuries would be useful. Dental training curricula do not mention the initial assessment and management of patients with cervical spine injury. Conclusion There is a knowledge and confidence deficit in OMFS first on call trainees in management of cervical spine injury. Dental foundation curricula do not specifically mention the management of patients with cervical spine injury. Most (95%) first on call trainees in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery felt that cervical spine teaching would be useful to them.
