Welcome

The Edinburgh Postgraduate Dental Institute was established in 1999 to develop postgraduate education and education for the dental team. We have excellent facilities and are situated centrally within the historic and vibrant capital of Scotland. We are located in Lauriston Place in Central Edinburgh and occupy the top three floors of the Lauriston Building which is a dedicated out-patient centre for dentistry and a number of medical disciplines.

EPDI is a part of the School of Clinical Science and Community Health of the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine of the University of Edinburgh. The College has an international reputation for the quality of its research. The College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine was rated top in the UK for medical research submitted to the Hospital-based Clinical Subjects Panel. All of the work rated at the international level and 40% at the very highest "world-leading".

The Edinburgh Postgraduate Dental Institute works in partnership with two major organisations to deliver high quality education, research and patient care. The activities of EPDI are as a result of strong cooperation and collaboration between the University of Edinburgh, NHS Lothian, NHS Education for Scotland and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Great opportunities exist for high quality education and research within a welcoming and friendly environment.
