Foundation Training · Sheffield
A supportive, well-established Sheffield practice for newly qualified dentists — with experienced supervision, a varied caseload and the room to grow into confident practice.
DF1 Training
Your foundation year shapes the dentist you become — so where you spend it matters. Dental Foundation Training (DF1) is the year newly qualified dentists spend in an approved practice, building real-world experience under experienced supervision before moving into independent NHS practice.
At Chapeltown Dental Care, foundation dentists join a long-established, friendly Sheffield team in a calm, well-run practice — with the guidance, varied caseload and encouragement to grow in confidence at a steady, supported pace.
