家庭暴力和虐待（DVA）是全球和英国的一个重大公共卫生问题。牙科专业人员是适当的地方来检测DVA的迹象，并支持患者披露DVA。然而，牙科专业人员可能缺乏信心，以确定和转介患者经历DVA;在斯塔福德郡确定在这些领域的培训需求。Glow DVA慈善机构和当地的牙科公共卫生团队合作开发DVA培训和资源，以满足牙科团队的具体需求;这些都提供给北斯塔福德郡地区的参与牙科实践。培训的反馈是积极的，培训得到了改进，以更好地满足牙科团队的需求。主要挑战包括获得牙科团队的支持，确保继续实施该计划的资金，以及在参加培训课程或管理DVA披露时尽量减少对牙科团队的干扰。培训的实施强调了DVA冠军在第三部门组织内开发和发展项目的重要性，在牙科实践中支持实施，并在当地牙科公共卫生团队中促进牙科团队的买入和持续参与。未来的计划包括开发面向患者的资源，寻找正式认证牙科团队参与DVA计划的方法，以及评估培训计划对DVA筛查，识别和转诊的影响。
Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) is a significant public health problem both globally and in the UK. Dental professionals are aptly place to detect the signs of DVA and support patients to disclose DVA. However, dental professionals may lack confidence to identify and refer patients experiencing DVA; training needs in these areas were identified in Staffordshire. Glow DVA charity and the local Dental Public Health teams worked collaboratively to develop DVA training and resources specific to the needs to the dental team; these were provided to participating dental practices in the North-Staffordshire region. Feedback from the training was positive and the training was refined to better meet the needs of the dental team.mKey challenges included obtaining dental team buy in, securing funding for the continuation of the initiative and minimising the disruption to the dental team when attending training sessions or when managing a DVA disclosure. The implementation of the training highlighted the importance of DVA champions within the third sector organisations to develop and evolve the project, within dental practices to support implementation, and within the local Dental Public Health team to facilitate dental team buy-in and sustained engagement. Future plans include developing the patient-facing resources, finding ways to formally accredit dental teams for taking part in the DVA programme, and evaluating the impact of the training programme on DVA screening, identification and referral.
