title: Training your team for change--putting the principles of adult learning into practice.
abstract: Dental practices have to be able to respond to changes in the economic, political and social environment like any other business or organisation. This article outlines a framework for allowing practitioners to become more responsive to change by using well-structured programmes of training. Applying this model over several training cycles will lead to greater understanding of the process of adult learning by the practitioner and the rest of the oral health team.
