The Faculty remains vibrant with continued expansion of the number of Fellows and Members. Over the last three years we have witnessed a 35% increase in numbers of Fellows and Members in the UK. The Faculty also has a strong international role and the increase in Fellows and Members overseas is even more dramatic, at 45%. Our total membership now stands at over 2,500.

Membership in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Historically, the Faculty has delivered a Membership in Surgical Dentistry predominantly in the UK and, at the same time, has provided a Membership in Oral Surgery examination in several centres overseas (Cairo, Hong Kong and Riga).

The scope of these two examinations was quite distinct. Typically, the syllabus for the examination held overseas reflected what was regarded locally as the specialty of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, although it is recognised that this is quite distinct from the scope of OMFS in the UK.

Dr David Felix provides the latest news on the activities of the Faculty of Dental Surgery.
