Participation of UK dentists in continuing professional development.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:This paper reports participation of dentists in continuing professional development (CPD) and factors affecting participation. METHOD:All general dental practitioners (GDPs) in three deaneries in England were surveyed. The overall response rate was 54% (n = 2082); by deanery it was 68% West Midlands, 45% South West and 44% Anglia. Findings across deaneries were remarkably similar. Comparisons with national data show no notable bias in the sample for gender, owners/partners and age/experience. RESULTS:Most frequent forms of CPD were journal reading and courses in which almost all engaged. A score based on individual participation in CPD over the 12-month period was calculated. The mean score (hours) for participation in verifiable CPD was 31 (median 25) and for general, 29 (median 29). In terms of the GDC's Lifelong Learning Scheme, 57% were already undertaking 50 hours. Net of other effects, those less likely to be doing 50 hours are those with more years in practice and single-handed practitioners. Greater access to courses and media-based CPD is desired. CONCLUSION:Certain groups of dentists will need support to meet the requirements of the GDC's Lifelong Learning Scheme. Statutory peer review or clinical audit will significantly alter the CPD profile of most dentists. This has implications for facilitators.
