Abstract

Objectives: Introduction to Practice (ItP) is a foundation (vocational) training scheme for newly-qualified dental therapists. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the scheme with ‘current’ trainees and follow-up previous trainees to gather their retrospective views and career history. Methods: Following a group discussion, all current trainees (n=7) completed questionnaires. Portfolio extracts were gathered. Trainees (n=8; 67%) from the 2009/2010 intakes completed a postal/online questionnaire. Current and past trainers completed a postal questionnaire (n=12; 92%).
