Abstract
In this paper the author gives his opinion about the problems of getting practices to change systems in order to institute clinical governance. There are many reasons why practices need to change and for this change to be monitored. This paper explains the need for change and the use of the evidence-based portfolio, which is produced by candidates for the Membership of the Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK) [MFGDP(UK)] examination. It can also be produced by individuals who are not taking the MFGDP(UK) examination in conjunction with the Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK)'s key skills programme. It provides a mechanism for demonstrating change and for assessing the quality of care provided by a general dental practice. The author concludes that the evidence-based portfolio will enable a practitioner to apply clinical governance in a practical way.
