Using self-evaluation to maintain competence.

Abstract

This limited study examined differences in pharmacists' competencies through self-assessment. By using self-assessment with specified objectives, pharmacists can target areas for CE programs. Pharmacists can then improve and maintain their competencies in these specific areas. A future study could focus on discovering the reasons some pharmacists do not feel comfortable in giving advice/information to other healthcare professionals.

Maintaining good dental practice: the East Lancashire approach to dentists whose performance gives cause for concern.

The Consultant in Dental Public Health and the Local Dental Committee in East Lancashire have developed a local system, similar to that being set up for general medical practitioners, to help general dental practitioners whose performance is causing concern. GDPs approved it at an open meeting of practitioners. A Dental Performance and Assessment Group has been set up and one problem has already been resolved to everyone's satisfaction. The model is recommended to dentists in other areas.
