Editorial - Working Together

This issue of the Journal devotes much of its contents to the matter of education – undergraduate and postgraduate. At a time when there is tacit agreement of the need for a specialty of Special Care Dentistry, to record the achievements of those in the field, both under- and postgraduate, is timely. Increasingly our undergraduate students work in the field of Special Care Dentistry for their electives as well as on projects within the rest of the curriculum. In this issue we h e a r of the endeavours of two who were our prizewinners; Fleur Kellet reviewed the impact of the Disability Discrimination Act on general dental practitioners and Sadaf Khan investigated dental management issues in people with cerebral palsy. As well, two other students detail their work, one on a community dental service in London for those w i t h disabilities and the other, from a New Zealand student, describing a novel approach to the dental care of people with spinal injuries. It is gratifying to see young people entering the profession taking an active interest in what has been viewed as one of the less glamorous specialties. Raising the profile of their work in this sort of forum is one way I see of encouraging this. On the postgraduate front, we have an interesting view from France on the implications for dental education of dentists-related barriers to treatment for people with Down syndrome.
