<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Mentoring is becoming more widely recognised within dentistry as a tool to enhance performance, motivation and well-being. Key national dental organisations promote mentoring. This includes the General Dental Council (2019) where mentoring is noted as a tool for peer learning and the facilitation of sharing experience and expertise. Mentoring is also identified as a long-term relationship that can contribute to an individual's sustained performance over a period of years. Coaching is less well known within the profession, indeed within healthcare generally, certainly at the level of the practitioner. Where coaching is recognised, it is often in a remedial context and because of that, it has been slow to take root. The use of mentoring and coaching as developmental tools is also less well understood, yet there is anecdotal evidence of their value to individuals, teams and organisations. This is a practically focused book showcasing uses of coaching and mentoring within the dental profession in the UK. It will include underlying theory and models; however, the main purpose is to demonstrate examples of how coaching and mentoring make a real difference to service provision. The impact and benefits of using a coaching and mentoring approach range widely to include individual dental professionals, patients, the team and the organisation. Skills that coach/mentors need to develop and hone are included. The book will also promote the importance of mentors receiving training before they begin to use the tools with other individuals. This will include a consideration of the differing methodologies employed in developing and delivering training and the acquisition of qualification"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF COACHING AND MENTORING IN DENTISTRY</b> <p><b>Provides an understanding of the theory of coaching and mentoring with practical applications within the field of dentistry</b><p><i>Practical Applications of Coaching and Mentoring in Dentistry</i> offers a comprehensive overview of the theory of coaching and mentoring as it applies to the field of dentistry.<p>The book includes practical case studies that demonstrate how dental professionals have implemented coaching and mentoring into their daily practice.
