  • Title: West Midlands regional training scheme for orthodontics in dental practice.
    Author: Pinson RR, Walmsley AD, Frame JW.
    Journal: Dent Update; 1993 Oct; 20(8):342-4. PubMed ID: 8056107.
    Abstract:
    The need for continuing education in orthodontics is recognised by many practitioners and the demand for post-graduate courses is high. The limitations of such courses, particularly the short technique type, are recognised and within the West Midlands the value of a longer term clinical attachment has been emphasised. The West Midlands has a well established orthodontic consultant service with fifteen NHS and one honorary consultant; the specialist practitioner service is small by national standards. All of the orthodontic consultants have long supported the clinical assistant post as a valuable vehicle for practitioners' continuing education. Building on the example given by the consultants in the four Thames Regions, a structured, centralised academic programme has been developed to enhance the clinical training given during these two year posts.
