Clinical Academic Staff Survey
June 2008
On 25 June Universities UK and RCUK, along with key stakeholders from the research community, launched the new Concordat to support research careers at Wesminster Central Hall. The Concordat is a revision of the 1996 version and was drafted with sector-wide input. The Concordat unambiguously adopts the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and a Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers adopted by the European Commission in March 2005.
Further details on the Concordat and the dedicated implementation can be found at www.researchconcordat.ac.uk.

The guidance is available for download here.

Since 2000 the Dental Schools Council and the Medical Schools Council have undertaken a regular (annual since 2003) survey of clinical academic staffing levels in UK medical and dental schools.
The most recent data show that there are now 469 Full Time Equivalent clinical academics in dentistry in the UK, of which 96 FTEs are clinical teachers. This indicates a return to total staffing levels similar with 2000 data, albeit with a significantly increased student population and two new Dental Schools.
The full 2009 report of Clinical Academic Staffing Levels in UK Dental Schools can be downloaded here.
