MFGDP(UK) Examination
The Diploma of Membership of the Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK) (MFGDP(UK)) is the first level diploma of the FGDP(UK) and the starting point for the Career Pathway.
The final diets of the examination, which is being replaced by the Diploma of Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties at The Royal College of Surgeons of England (MJDF), will be held during the first half of 2008. See the MFGDP(UK) Calendar for details.
The aims of the MFGDP(UK) are to:

- Test the basic skills and understanding required for general dental care practice;
- Recognise the achievement of an appropriate standard of patient care;
- Recognise a commitment to lifelong professional development.
The MFGDP(UK) is open to dentists who are registered to practise dentistry and are at least six months post-qualified. Dentists also need to be working in a primary dental care setting to complete the qualification.
