Guidance development
Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme
The Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme (SDCEP) is an initiative of the National Dental Advisory Committee (NDAC) and operates within NHS Education for Scotland.
SDCEP was established in 2004 under the direction of the NDAC to give a structured approach to providing clinical guidance for the dental profession. The programme’s primary aim is to develop guidance that supports the provision of quality patient care. SDCEP brings together the best available information that is relevant to oral health care priorities and presents guidance on best practice in a form that can be interpreted easily and implemented. The guidance recommendations may be based on a variety of sources of information, including research evidence, guidelines, legislation, policies and expert opinion as appropriate to the subject. SDCEP guidance takes a variety of forms to suit the diverse topics being addressed.
Recognising that publication of guidance alone may have a limited influence on practice, SDCEP also contributes to the development and evaluation of interventions to enhance the translation of guidance recommendations into practice via the TRiaDS (Translation Research in a Dental Setting; www.triads.org.uk) collaboration.58
All of SDCEP’s activities are overseen by a steering group that includes representatives of guidance development groups and dental institutions in Scotland and the UK. Current membership of this steering group is available at www.sdcep.org.uk.
SDCEP is funded by NHS Education for Scotland (NES). The views and opinions of NES have not influenced the recommendations made in this guidance.
The Guidance Development Group (GDG) for the updating of this guidance comprised individuals from a wide range of backgrounds including dentistry and other health professions with a role in the management of patients presenting with acute dental problems.
