The ORE Part 2 is a clinical OSCE — you can't pass it from a textbook alone. OREPass runs hands-on preparation at partner practices in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds: mannequin training, live patient shadowing, mock OSCE stations and expert feedback.
The GDC's Overseas Registration Examination Part 2 is one of the most rigorous clinical assessments in dentistry. It's an OSCE — you're examined in real time on examination technique, treatment planning, clinical skills and patient communication. Success demands much more than theoretical knowledge.
Through our UK-wide partner network, OREPass connects you with experienced practitioners in fully equipped private surgeries — the same environment they use every day. You practise on dental mannequins, shadow live patient procedures and receive the kind of honest, structured feedback that actually changes outcomes.
We've collaborated with vetted private practices across the UK to build a training network with a single goal: giving ORE Part 2 candidates the best possible chance of passing first time.
Every practice in our network is selected for clinical quality, equipment standard and trainer experience. All trainers are GDC-registered with active clinical practice — not retired examiners working from memory.
Whether you train in London, Birmingham, Manchester or Leeds, you'll follow the same 9-module curriculum mapped directly to the GDC ORE Part 2 OSCE format. Consistent standards, consistent outcomes.
We cap sessions at 4 candidates. Every trainee receives individual attention, real-time correction and the space to ask questions without embarrassment. Your development is never diluted by a crowded room.
Our ORE Part 2 programme is built around the actual GDC examination format — covering every station type with structured practice and expert coaching.
Structured extra-oral and intra-oral examination technique, lymph node assessment, TMJ examination, soft tissue screening and charting to UK standards. Practised on mannequins and observed on real patients.
Comprehensive treatment planning for complex cases — prioritising care, risk assessment, evidence-based decision making and presenting treatment options to patients in a UK-appropriate manner.
Cavity preparation and composite/amalgam placement on mannequin teeth, shade selection, matrix systems, finishing and polishing — with step-by-step observation of live restorations.
Inferior alveolar nerve block, buccal infiltration, palatal injection and mental nerve block technique. Aspiration, cartridge loading, post-injection protocol and management of adverse reactions.
UK radiation regulations (IR(ME)R & IRR17), periapical and bitewing interpretation, CBCT awareness, film mounting and systematic radiographic assessment with timed interpretation exercises.
Recognition and management of anaphylaxis, syncope, angina, asthma attack, hypoglycaemia and epilepsy in the dental setting. Drug protocols, emergency kit contents and CPR refresher.
Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE), periodontal charting, probing technique, furcation assessment, classification of periodontal disease and treatment planning for mild, moderate and severe periodontitis.
UK-specific consent law (Montgomery ruling), explaining treatment options clearly, managing anxious patients, writing clinical notes to the required standard and professional communication with colleagues.
HTM 01-05 compliance, instrument decontamination cycles, cross-infection control in the dental setting, PPE protocols and CQC standards as they apply to the GDC examination framework.
Every session follows the same structured arc — building your skills and confidence from controlled practice through to exam-condition simulation.
Each session opens with a structured briefing — covering clinical rationale, the OSCE marking criteria and the most common mistakes candidates make. You know exactly what the examiner is looking for before you pick up an instrument.
You practise on dental mannequins (typodont models) in fully equipped surgeries using the same instruments and materials as real clinical practice. This builds muscle memory and technical confidence without time pressure.
With patient consent, you observe our practitioners performing real procedures — history-taking, examination, treatment and patient communication. This clinical context simply cannot be replicated by a model or textbook.
We run timed simulations replicating the pressure, format and expectations of the actual ORE Part 2 OSCE. Our trainers act as examiners and give you an honest, unvarnished assessment of your current level.
You leave every session with a written performance report — strengths, specific areas for improvement and a personalised study plan to focus your preparation before exam day.
