In the UK, there are over 400 trainees enrolled in dental specialty training programmes, with each specialty having a specific curriculum.[5] Specialty trainees must undertake regular clinical assessments, dependent on clinical activity, which is likely to be affected by the COVID-19 crisis. It is important that those with responsibility for specialty training (at a local and national level) maintain a fair and reasonable approach to assessing trainees, with acknowledgement that training has been temporarily halted during the acute phase of the pandemic. Trainees should be consulted with regard to their training needs after the pandemic restrictions have been eased, whether that be an extension of training or a more specific targetted timetabling to achieve the desired specialty specific curriculum outcomes.
