Description
The aim of this tender is to ensure that PDSE achieves value for money, the highest quality work and consistent service level, by competitively offering these services to the market.
Peninsula Dental Social Enterprise CIC (PDSE) was founded in 2013 and is responsible for running four Dental Education Facilities across the Southwest, with clinics in Exeter, Truro and two in Plymouth.
PDSE also employs its own team of in house clinicians who treat a range of patients including specific initiatives such as a dedicated clinic for people experiencing homelessness in Plymouth.
Students are on site for approximately 38 weeks per year and the number of clinical days undertaken by each student year group increases as they progress through the course. Currently, years 1, 2 and 5 are based in Plymouth with years 3 in Exeter and 4 in Truro although this is under review.
PDSE does have its own in house laboratory in both its Truro and Devonport facilities. This is a basic set up, currently used for teaching to supporting the student's curriculum only, and not to produce work for patients.
