                                          activities. We do so through delivering postgraduate lecture programmes, taught courses,
                                          and the exciting ongoing development of online resources and connectivity. These

                                          The purpose of the CPD programme is to provide a learning opportunity for dentists and
                                          their team members away from the busy dental practice or other working environments, to
                                          allow them to update their knowledge in a comfortable environment, and also to facilitate
                                          those who are actively pursuing additional postgraduate qualifications.

FACULTY
                             Affiliate
                             The Faculty of Dentistry of the Royal College of
                             Surgeons in Ireland is delighted to announce the
                             launch a brand new category of membership to
                             be known as ‘Faculty Affiliate’. The new category
                             has been created to support and develop dentists
                             in Ireland and overseas, as well as students
                             currently training to become dentists.
                             The launch of the ‘Faculty Affiliate’ category of membership means
                             there is now a membership option for all dentists. Previously,
                             membership of the Faculty of Dentistry was only open to those who
                             had successfully obtained one of the Faculty’s examinations.
                             Faculty Affiliates will receive exclusive access to the Faculty’s online
                             portal, discounted rates for CPD accredited courses, access to online
                             education resources, networking opportunities and more.
                             In addition, from Autumn 2020, Affiliates, along with all good
                             standing Fellows, Members and Diplomates, will be eligible
                             to register free of charge for the Faculty’s monthly modular
                             Postgraduate Lecture Series (charges being introduced from Autumn
                             2020). That means a saving of €50 per module for Faculty Affiliates!
                             The introductory rate to become a ‘Faculty Affiliate’ is €100 for the
                             2020 calendar year. What’s more, if you join before March 31st 2020,
                             you’ll get two years for the price of one! ‘Student Affiliates’ can join
