A number of those involved in delivering evidence-based dentistry teaching to dental undergraduates in the UK have formed a UK-wide group to share ideas and resources.

At the first online meeting held on March 17th 2014 the group discussed areas of mutual interest.

Amongst these were how to facilitate the transfer of evidence into clinical decision-making, what level of content is appropriate at the undergraduate level and when to teach it and how.

There was enthusiasm among the participants to share curricula, develop online content together and identify strategies to help incorporate evidence use in clinical practice.

The group is keen to engage representatives from all UK dental and hygiene-therapy schools. Some colleagues have already responded but were unable to attend this inaugural meeting so a second one is due to be held.

Please get in touch with Nicola Innes (n.p.innes@dundee.ac.uk) or Dominic Hurst (r.d.hurst@qmul.ac.uk) if you lead on EBD at your institution and would like to join.
