title: MRI update.
abstract: The Management Research Initiative aims to encourage research in dental practice management. We hope that GDPs and dental teams will get involved either by looking at management issues in their own practice or by collaborating with other researchers. In this update we give details of research being carried out that will give GDPs evidence of what influences a patient's choice of dentist and how the changing role of the dentist as manager is affecting stress levels.
