Become a Clyde Munro VT
The Best Foot Forward programme has been designed to bring VT colleagues together from across Clyde Munro practices, and provide you with additional training to jump start your career in dentistry and offer insights into future opportunities.
We have designed our programme to run alongside your VT year, composed of sessions that are aimed at supporting your training and development.
The sessions cover topics such as:
- Digital Dentistry & AI
- Becoming self-employed
- Wellbeing Support when operating in general practice
- A deeper understanding of general practice and providing both NHS and Private treatment
Additionally, the programme offers one-on-one support for managing schedules as you approach the end of your VT year and begin your career as an associate dentist. When the programme is complete, you will be given priority access to join the group as an Associate Dentist and continue to develop your career.

Clinical Support
Expert clinical support, broad ranging courses and webinars – Clyde Munro provides you with learning and development opportunities from day one. We are proud to have a range of clinical experts who can come to you and provide hands on support if needed.
Loan
But that is not all, to alleviate the financial challenge of transitioning from salaried VT to self-employed status, we offer an advance payment, repayable over subsequent months, ensuring a smoother financial transition during the initial months of independent practice.
Stuart Collier
Associate Dentist at Alloway Place Dental Practice
Clyde Munro offers training on topics that aren’t taught in the undergraduate curriculum, for example, I didn’t know how the payment system worked and I’d not used an intraoral scanner. The digital dentistry aspect was particularly interesting for me. Lots of Clyde Munro practices have digital 3D intraoral scanners and following the training I’ve received I now use it for various aspects of the day-to-day job. The training is very good in this respect.
Paul Capanni
VT at M&S Dental Care
Doing my VT with Clyde Munro, I feel incredibly supported. The VT programme lets me meet with other VTs across Scotland and share experiences. The team at Clyde Munro are keen to give us specific career development goals, and I feel really supported as a young dentist. It is a great place to start my dental career.
Callum Graham
Clinical Director
I found my Vocational Training year one of the most important in my career. It gave me the opportunity to build on the skills I’d learned at dental school, develop and hone these and start to really explore many different aspects of dentistry. After finishing VT I tried to look for jobs where I could learn new skills and develop my professional interests where there were experienced clinicians willing to support me in that development. Not every job and not every course was beneficial. Clyde Munro gives you access to the resources of Scotland’s largest and Europe’s most technologically advanced dental group. The dental digital revolution is here, come and join us for this journey!
