Health Education England (HEE) Training Grants: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how dentists in approved training posts can access funding to support their postgraduate dental training.

These grants provide financial support to dentists who are currently undertaking postgraduate training in approved positions.

Who it's for

This scheme is designed specifically for dental professionals who are working within approved training posts. To qualify, you must be a dentist currently engaged in a recognized training program that has been officially approved for postgraduate development. This is not an open grant for all dental practitioners, but a targeted support system for those currently in the process of formal professional training.

What you get

The primary benefit is funding intended to support your postgraduate dental training. This financial assistance is meant to help manage the costs associated with furthering your professional qualifications and advancing your clinical expertise through structured postgraduate study.

What it costs you

There is no direct monetary fee required to apply for this support. However, you should be prepared for the time and effort required to navigate a competitive application process. Because the funding is tied to specific training posts, your eligibility depends on your current professional placement and successful navigation of the formal application requirements.

The catch to know

The most important thing to keep in mind is that availability is not unlimited. There are limited spots available for those pursuing specialist training. Because demand for these positions is high, being selected for a training post and receiving the associated funding depends on the capacity of the specific training programs available.

How to apply

  1. Confirm that your current dental position is an approved training post.
  2. Verify that your specific postgraduate course or training path is eligible for funding.
  3. Follow the formal application procedures required by the training body.
  4. Monitor official communications regarding application cycles and requirements.
