Issues in dental outreach teaching--an introduction for the primary care practitioner.
Outreach teaching programmes can be organized in a variety of settings, be structured in different formats and can offer education and training to all members of the dental team. This paper principally examines outreach teaching as a contributory training experience for undergraduate dental students. Following a review of recent literature on the subject, educational and NHS host perspectives are considered in relation to a qualitative report on a contemporary programme offering training in Adult Restorative Care.


CONCLUSIONS
Outreach training in a primary care setting offers undergraduate dental students complementary educational exposure to a real-life working environment.
