A survey of the outlook of 81 participating dental undergraduates concerning the value of a general hospital residency programme has been compared with the perceptions of 240 graduate health professionals (dental and medical practitioners, registered nurses and others). There is convincing statistical evidence of pan‐professional support for such a general hospital residency. Better medical preparation of the dental student prior to residency is strongly favoured. Closer links between medicine and dentistry are inevitable as well as being essential for both professions and the community.
