UK-OVERSEAS REGISTRATION EXAM
About ORE:
The ORE is an exam that overseas qualified dentists must pass in order to register with the GDC. Registration allows dentists to practice dentistry unsupervised in the UK.
The ORE tests the clinical skills and knowledge of dentists from outside the European Economic Area whose qualifications are not eligible for full registration with the GDC here in the UK. Candidates are expected to meet or exceed the standard of a ‘just passed’ UK BDS graduate.
The exam is based on the UK dental curriculum and uses modern assessment methods to ensure a robust and consistent exam.
Exam Pattern:
The exam has two parts:
Part 1 is a written exam;
Part 2 is a clinical exam
PART 1
There are two computer-based exam papers for Part 1 of the ORE:
Each paper lasts 3 hours and is made up of Multiple Short Answer questions (Extended Matching Questions and Single Best Answer Questions).
PART 2
There are four components to Part 2 of the ORE:
An operative test on a dental manikin - Candidates are required to perform three procedures over a period of three hours. These procedures primarily involve the preparation and restoration of teeth, but may also include other procedures where appropriate simulation can allow assessment of operative skills.
An Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) - This is where candidates visit a series of ‘stations’ which test their clinical skills. These may include history-taking and assessment, communication skills (such as an explanation of problems and treatment plans), judgement and decision making, ethics and attitudes, and clinical examination. The series of stations may cover aspects of the following: behavioral sciences, human disease, law, ethics and professionalism, clinical dentistry, restorative dentistry, paediatric dentistry, orthodontics, preventive dentistry, dental public health, comprehensive oral care, oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology and oral microbiology, dental radiology and imaging.
There will be a maximum of 20 stations and the OSCE lasts 2 hours in total.
A diagnostic and treatment planning exercise - This involves an actor who will provide an appropriate history (but will not be examined), together with relevant additional information such as photographs, radiographs, study models or results of other special tests. The exercise may involve any of the above aspects of clinical dentistry.
A practical examination in medical emergencies - This assessment consists of two parts:
a structured scenario-based oral
demonstration of single handed basic life support. This will include cardiopulmonary resuscitation using a resuscitation manikin
FEES:
ORE - Part 1 - £ 806
ORE - Part 2 - £ 2929
ATTEMPTS
Candidates are allowed up to four attempts at each Part of the ORE
If you fail either Part 1 or Part 2 of the exam four times you will not be given the opportunity to sit the exam again.
CENTERS
Part 1 is run by King’s College, London
Part 2 is run by a consortium group and the four components of the exam are held at separate venues in London. All four venues are situated near to each other
Can a candidate work in the UK as a dentist while waiting to complete the ORE?
Yes, you can work, but you must have temporary registration with the GDC. Please be aware that posts available under temporary registration are limited and there is also a very high demand for these posts.
Note: A candidate can go on a STANDARD VISITOR VISA to write the ORE exam.

Qualifications
Each profession at the HCPC has its own specific criteria for assessment, which are set out in the profession specific elements of the standards of proficiency. The overarching framework applies to all professions and an applicant must satisfy the Registration Assessor in their application how they meet the benchmark Standards of proficiency. This can be demonstrated through a combination of education, training and experience gained in practise of the profession for which they are seeking registration.
Applicants are strongly advised to give as much detail in their application as possible and get their university/college to complete the course information form.
HCPC does not comment on the ability of an applicant to practice in their country of training, however, some courses are broader with less in depth coverage, and others are more detailed but have a narrower scope. Significant experience may make up for shortfalls in training.
HCPC assessors make their determinations based on all of the information that you provide. Please remember to provide as much relevant detail as possible.
English proficiency
The ability to communicate effectively in English is critical to working effectively as a health professional in the UK. Consequently, we can ask you for information about your ability to use English.
If you are making an application to become registered as a Speech and Language Therapist the language testing exemption does not apply (please see the table below).
Applicants whose first language is not English and who are required to provide a language test certificate as evidence of their proficiency must ensure that it is, or is comparable to, IELTS level 7.0 with no element below 6.5 (or IELTS level 8.0 with no element below 7.5 for Speech and language therapists). If you propose to rely upon a non-IELTS test score that is not listed below, it will be your responsibility to provide evidence that it is comparable to the requisite IELTS levels. Failure to do so will delay the processing of your application.
IELTS or other English language tests which are equivalent to IELTS level 7 (no element below 6.5) may be submitted. If you are submitting any other acceptable test that is not IELTS, you must prove the equivalence of that test. The standard required for speech and language therapists is level 8 (no element below 7.5).
All test certificates must be dated within two years of the date we receive your application.
* As communication in English is a core professional skill for speech and language therapists, this
higher standard applies to all applicants (except those who have completed an approved speech and language therapy programme in the UK).
** Cannot accept any TOEFL test score undertaken in the United Kingdom.
