title: Personal development portfolios in general dental practice.
abstract: Personal Development Portfolios are established tools used throughout education in order to document and record learning and development, and their value has been generally recognized in the wider field of medical practice. It is proposed that they are introduced into general dental practice along with the support of suitably trained facilitators who could mentor practitioners and offer advice on their continual professional development.
