Managed by the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management (FMLM), the Chief Dental Officer England’s Clinical Fellow Scheme is designed to accelerate and support dentists and dental care professionals to develop as leaders of the future.  

Established in 2017, the year-long scheme provides a unique opportunity in a national healthcare-affiliated organisation outside of dental clinical practice to develop skills in leadership, management, strategy, project management and healthcare policy.

Candidates may apply for a place on the scheme during the recruitment period each year. Shortlisted candidates are interviewed, and successful applicants are seconded from their current employer to take up a fellowship role for 12 months, starting 1 September 2024.

Applications for the 2024/25 Fellowship year are now open! Testimonials from previous Fellows are available in the Chief Dental Officer England’s Clinical Fellow Scheme 2024/25 information pack. Guidance for employers 2024/25 provides detail of the scheme for both individuals and employers.
