The publication of Peer Review in General Dental Practice in 2018 led to the formation of 11 peer review groups which were funded by the Shropshire and Staffordshire LDN and supported by the North Staffordshire, Shropshire and South Staffordshire LDCs. This was a local policy document that provided the governance and funding structure for setting up peer review groups in the Shropshire and Staffordshire region. To date, over 60 peer review group meetings have taken place and over of 120 hours of CPD. Although this demonstrates a level of success for peer review in the local area, it was understood that more practices could be involved in the scheme; there are over 200 NHS dental practices in Shropshire and Staffordshire. In addition, there was a lot of variation in how each group operated. For example, one group had 25 participants whilst another had 8. Furthermore, verifiable CPD certificates were not always provided and the number of meetings per cycle ranged from 3 to 6.
