Key skills for newly qualified dentists: an evaluation of a West Midlands initiative.

INTRODUCTION: This paper reports an evaluation of the West Midlands Key Skills initiative that provides a framework for learning during vocational training (VT). METHOD: The 48 vocational dental practitioners (VDPs) who began their VT in August 2001 in the West Midlands were surveyed at the start and end of training (45 completed both surveys). They rated their confidence and experience in the 31 components of the Six Key Skills on visual analogue scales. Views were elicited in a survey of both VDPs (47 returns) and their general practice trainers (44 returns). Semi-structured interviews were also held with a stratified sample of 9 trainers and all four VT advisors. RESULTS: In terms of VDP progress, a statistically significant increase in confidence and experience was found in each of the 31 components. Six themes were identified in the views data. (i) Supporting the development of Key Skills; (ii) workload implications; (iii) the "right" six? (iv) links with the advanced diploma (MFGDP(UK)); (v) assessment of VT; and, (vi) consistency and quality assurance. CONCLUSION: VT successfully develops the confidence and experience of newly qualified dentists in the Six Key Skills and has been well received by the majority of VDPs, trainers and advisors in the West Midlands.

Review of ADA licensure policy.

ADA policies on licensure encourage states to ease mobility restrictions while maintaining sufficient control to ensure that only qualified individuals provide dental treatment within the state. Many states have had provision to license by credentials for a long time. Licensure by credentials is rapidly replacing reciprocity as an alternate form of licensure. Only four states still participate in what can be termed purely reciprocal licensure agreements. In contrast, 21 states currently offer licensure by credentials. Another trend in licensure in recent years has been increased state participation in regional clinical examination services. Today, 32 states participate in four regional clinical examination services. With the increasing number of states offering licensure by credentials and participating in regional boards, the prospect for increased mobility for dentists appears good.

[Disinfection and sterilization in stomatologic practice from the viewpoint of the district health inspection].

Disinfection and sterilization measures are of paramount importance in the prevention of iatrogenic infections in the medical consulting-room. They are parts of the hygiene schedule in the office. The disinfection and sterilization measures are largely determined by law. Their securing is incumbent on the head of the respective institution. The control of this securing devolves on the State Hygiene Inspectorate. With regard to the stomatological work place, special conditions arise in enforcing observance of the legal provisions. The author tries to compile some of these conditions from the viewpoint of a district hygiene inspectorate.
