This position paper represents an outcome from a larger EU-funded collaborative Erasmus+ project, "O-Health-Edu." The project aims to better understand the existing state of Oral Health Professionals' (OHP) education in Europe and to develop a common vision for this education. The ultimate aim is to improve the ability of OHPs to meet the oral health needs of the European population. It is understood that promoting oral health will result in improved overall health, and a reduction in health inequalities-and indeed this objective is supported by the recent introduction of the EU4Health programme, 1 which, in part, aims to "strengthen health systems and the healthcare workforce". A major determining factor in this regard, is access to relevant, comprehensive and equitable people-centred *World Health Organisation definition: "53 countries, covering a vast geographical region from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans"

With "The Graduating European Dentist", ADEE provides a new approach that reflects best academic practice for European undergraduate dental education. The new suite of documents sees increased emphasis on important curriculum components such as patient safety, working as a team and patient-centred care. There is also an increased emphasis on teaching excellence, student satisfaction and student preparedness and support. Guidance relating to methods of teaching and learning, and assessment (educational measurement), is also provided. It is anticipated that this new format will further increase accessibility and utility for educators, institutions, societies and regulators, across the sector.

et al. 2017

This position paper outlines the areas of competence and learning outcomes of "The Graduating European Dentist" that specifically relate to patient-centred care. This approach is becoming increasingly prominent within the literature and within policy documents. Whilst working to an evidence base is critical, dentists must also be aware of the scientific basis that underpins the treatment they provide. The evaluation process, which supports treatment planning, also requires dentists to be able to listen, collate, and record pertinent information effectively. In addition, the ability to account for a patient's social, cultural and linguistic needs (cultural competence) will result in a practitioner who is able to treatment plan for patient-centred care.
