The speciality and associate specialist grade doctor is an important part of many specialist departments in both medicine and dentistry. In this article we highlight their vital (and often forgotten) contribution in providing and delivering excellent patient care within the dental specialties. We suggest that more should be done to address the needs of this important section of our workforce. Encouraging a programme of continued professional development together with a more structured path for career progression should be considered.
专科及副专科医生是医学和牙科众多专科部门的重要组成部分。在本文中,我们强调他们在牙科专科领域提供和实现优质患者护理方面做出的至关重要(且常被忽视)的贡献。我们建议应采取更多措施来满足我们这一重要劳动力群体的需求。应考虑鼓励开展持续专业发展计划,并为职业发展规划一条更具条理的路径。
