According to the European Union (EU) Directive 2005/36, the medical specialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) exists with two possible formats: dual degree OMFS called Dental, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (DOMFS) - basic medical and basic dental training and single medical degree Maxillofacial Surgery (MFS). Within the EU and across all of Europe, differences in the nature and quality of OMFS training coexist. By implementing the highest possible standards of training, patient care can be improved. To establish quality metrics for an ideal OMFS training programme, the European OMFS Trainee Forum of the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes (UEMS) conducted a Delphi consensus protocol from November 2023 to January 2024. Facilitated by the OMFS Section of UEMS, 57 trainees from 32 countries participated. The process involved the definition of three quality levels using the red, amber, and green (RAG) rating system. Following the Delphi process, 46 domains were identified, including features within training programmes/rotations, teaching and education programmes, training placements, recording of training progression and activity, and external assessment of training programmes. The results were aligned with the UEMS OMFS European Training Requirement (ETR). With the introduction of a RAG rating, trainees and trainers can review their training programmes with the aim of improving them by moving domains from Red to Green. Raising the standard of training will benefit our patients. This initiative could mark a significant step towards the harmonisation of OMFS training, improving quality and ensuring consistent, high-level care throughout Europe.

Smoking education has been included in the curricula in all the medical faculties of the Czech Republic, although the scope of the education varies. At each of the faculties, a member of the staff has been appointed as co-ordinator of smoking education. These coordinators promote a sharing of experience and distribution of teaching materials. At the majority of faculties, obligatory workshops are held for all students to learn about smoking and smoking treatment within the framework of preventive medicine. In addition, selected students undertake selected studies on smoking and health as part of their research. At the Medical Faculty of Masaryk University, Brno, smoking education is included in the majority of theoretical and clinical subjects and its effectiveness is repeatedly assessed during the 6-year course study by testing the students' knowledge and smoking behaviour. The evaluation provides a basis for further modification and improvement of the education. Currently, a fundamental transformation of dental education is being undertaken in all medical faculties of the Czech Republic. These new curricula will benefit from the curriculum of the Medical Faculty, at Hradec Králové, where the changes that were made 5 years ago involve theoretical and practical education in the risks of smoking for oral health throughout the 5-year stomatology courses. Postgraduate medical education involves professional 2-day seminars for general practitioners on approaches to smoking cessation and smoking dependence treatment, and professional materials such as smoking cessation guidelines are published in medical and specialist journals.
