Audit activity and uptake of postgraduate dental education among general dental practitioners in Yorkshire.
The aim of this study was to assess the involvement of general dental practitioners in Yorkshire in clinical audit activity and in postgraduate dental education and to compare the results with those of a previous survey undertaken in 1989. There is a need to find ways of encouraging all general dental practitioners to become actively involved in continuing professional development and in improving the quality of general dental practice through the use of clinical audit.
