McArdle is a valued member of our team and is correct in his assertion that the OMFS registrars are not exposed to significant dento-alveolar surgery in this centre. This is because Guy's, King's College and St Thomas's (GKT) Hospitals house specialist cleft, head and neck cancer, and trauma services. But only one third of their training time is at GKT, two thirds are at peripheral hospitals where there is a significant exposure to dento-alveolar surgery. Territorial disputes are undignified and counter productive particularly as market share depends ultimately on the quality of service provided. If there is concern regarding training, it can be quantified by reference to logbooks which should be in the public domain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
