A comparison of the experiences of newly qualified dentists and vocational dental practitioners during their first year of general dental practice.
The views of young dentists, both VDP and non-VDP, in their first year in dental practice were sought by means of a postal survey. The majority felt they had received guidance and support from their principals, though standards did vary widely across practices. Both groups had favourable views on vocational training.
