Abstract:

In autumn 2002, the five London general dental practice vocational training schemes were the subject of focus group analysis after a session on dental ethics. The participants discussed a number of ethical dilemmas based on copies of original records and correspondence with names deleted. During the final part of the session, participants' perceptions and opinions on the teaching of ethics were explored. This provided interesting insights into their knowledge of and attitudes toward ethics and the professional/business interface.
