title: Delivery of postgraduate dental education to meet the needs of general dental practice --a case study.
abstract: In order for dental practices to gain the maximum benefit from an educational opportunity such as a course or workshop, it is important that the training received meets the needs of these practices and is delivered appropriately. This paper provides an account of an educational initiative undertaken within the Eastern deanery in 2003 and 2004, 'Essex Promoting Infection Control' (EPIC), which set out to establish training needs in infection control within general dental practices across Essex and then to design and deliver learning events to meet these needs.
