A new progress file tool can support lifelong learning for dental teams. Both dentists and dental therapists view this tool positively, highlighting its potential for continuous professional development in modern dentistry.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Professional Development
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Modern dentistry necessitates ongoing professional development for all team members.
  • A project was initiated to create a lifelong learning tool, a progress file, for the dental team.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To understand dentists' and dental therapists' perspectives on using a progress file at work.
  • To gather feedback on a prototype progress file designed for dental therapists.

Main Methods:

  • Consultations involved 15 dentists and 32 dental therapists using an opportunistic sampling method.
  • A prototype progress file was trialled by 28 dental therapists for six months and appraised by 15 dentists.
  • Qualitative data was collected through interviews and questionnaires, followed by content analysis.

Main Results:

  • Dentists and dental therapists generally supported the concept of a progress file for workplace use.
  • Successful implementation was seen as dependent on factors like team leader input and dentist recognition for support.
  • The prototype received largely positive evaluations, with trial data aligning with initial consultation findings.

Conclusions:

  • A well-designed progress file can meet the needs of both dental employers and employees.
  • This tool has the potential to aid all dental team members in achieving continuous professional development goals.
