Following completion of DFT

If you intend to continue working in the GDS in Wales, then a few weeks before you are due to complete your training year you will be sent a Change of Status form for completion.

You should return the completed form together with confirmation of your Vocational Training Number.
Once received, your status will be changed from Foundation Dentist to Performer, and you will be fully included on the Dental Performers List in Wales.

APPLYING FOR PERFORMERS LIST ENTRY IN ENGLAND AS A CURRENT FD IN WALES

Information can be found at https://www.performer.england.nhs.uk/

HEIW would advise you to make your application as soon as you are aware you will work in England as processing of applications can take some considerable time. Routine applications take approximately 8-10 weeks to process from receipt of a complete application form to inclusion on the National Performers List.

If there are any issues with the pre-admission checks or documentation does not meet the criteria, the process will take longer.

Please note, individuals who accept a DCT post in England with a CDS rotation will be required to make an application for inclusion on a performers list in England.
