STUDY GROUPS
This is promoting peer review.
It's the best way to learn, and to use the opportunity to talk through common issues and problems we all have.
All professions are stressful, but the best advice I ever had was from my Dad. He said "remember, people aren't themselves when they see you".
I hope he was referring to me being a dentist!

I'll add the framework on setting up your own study group. We used our contacts to get a variety of discussions, and then we would take them to the pub, and they didn't have to pay for their food and drink. it's at the bottom of the page.

Setting up your study group- there are instructions on the BDA website...
Peer review instructions
Contact your local dental practices, or known dental contacts and suggest a group meeting.
Decide on a subject that is of relevance to the group.
You need to decide on a venue such as your dental practice, or alternative local venue.
Contact with the date and time of the event via contact letter or email.
State
Venue and time of meeting
Amount of verifiable CPD at the meeting
A register needs to be taken, and feedback.
We have run informal peer review study meetings for many years, and in groups from 8-16.
Our resources have varied from local dental specialists, dental representatives, and if we have occasionally reference to recent dental publications with group discussions.
With recent advances in IT we are able to easily review our own examples from digital radiographs and clinical pictures. Small informal groups allow for a more relaxed learning environment, and the discussions during and after the meetings are generally more informative than on line courses. We have them of an evening and then go out for something to eat and drink which is not included in the CPD, but clearly has some value.
Recently we have used free “survey monkey” as when its returned it will have a section on requests for future topics. And on the survey monkey feedback return, we then send a pdf of the CPD certificate.
Clearly this could be done by a simple paper registration, feedback , and CPD certificate on the occasion.
We have had updates on anticoagulants, oral cancer, endodontics, biodentine, pensions, ethics, consent, tooth whitening, dental implants, & mindfulness.
There are some links in the IT section that may help the above.
