Tech for would-be dentists has received a funding boost this week.

The Department of Health, NHS Connecting for Health and the Dental IT programme board announced the cash injection yesterday, with an extra £11m allocated for technology used to train dentistry students.

The 10 hospital trusts that applied for funding will each get a share of the cash.

The trusts will be responsible for using the cash to give dental students experience of the IT systems they will use in the field, including core applications under the National Programme for IT, such as patient administration systems, N3, Choose and Book, picture archiving and communication systems, as well as clinical dental systems and resource management tools.
