ABSTRACT
Dental Practitioners will have been able to make a wish list after following the previous stages on assessment. All practices are different, and dental Practitioners' priorities may or may not reflect those of their peers. It is better to select those topics that are tied into dental Practitioners' practice’s priorities. It is important to have clear aims and objectives that are achievable within dental Practitioners' time and resource constraints. Remember to take external influences into account. The introduction of the requirement to undertake clinical audit or peer review over a three-year period may be high on dental Practitioners' priority list. Dental Practitioners will also need to relate the priorities to their business planning priorities. One of the misconceptions about clinical governance is that it will in some way detract from dental Practitioners' business objectives.
