Abstract

In recent years, well-documented changes have occurred in the patterns of oral disease and, as a result, the scope and complexity of dental treatments has widened considerably. In response to this the Department of Health has introduced a compulsory one-year postgraduate vocational training scheme [VTS]. In this scheme, new graduates spend time in approved general dental practices, trained by selected general dental practitioners [GDPs] who are seen as having 'best practice' standards. For the VTS to succeed it will require the continued support of these 'best quality' GDPs who at the moment are competing for places as trainers. Such competition has not always existed and this paper describes a decision-making model for trainers which was developed because future external influences could reverse this competitive scenario, with a major effect on the postgraduate training programme
