Staff are one of the greatest assets a practice has, and effective communication and motivation is rewarding for all parties. Three years ago Charles Scola and his partners introduced a performance related pay (PRP) scheme into their busy general dental practice. Here, he discusses the resulting benefits and also some of the teething problems they have encountered.
Staff problems are all too frequent, and be it losing them, replacing them or training them it can be a costly and frustrating business. At the 1990 BDA International Congress, Charles Scola presented a table clinic addressing exactly these problems. In the first of this two part article he considers just how you can 'keep your staff'.
In his first two articles, the author described initial planning and preparation (both physical and mental) for the MGDS examination. In his concluding article, he outlines the finishing touches to the log diary, the practice visit, the written papers themselves--and finally, he describes the agonising wait for the result.

After 10 years in general practice, Reading dentist Charles Scola felt the need for a challenge and decided to work for the Membership of General Dental Surgery. In this article, the first of three, he describes the initial planning he undertook. Subsequent articles will cover the preparations involved and sitting the exam itself, which he did at the Royal College of Surgeons of England. While the author makes reference to its particular regulations, the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Glasgow also offer this exam under different formats.
