iDent: Evaluation of Medhand mobile libraries app

The Wales Deanery is piloting and funding an initiative where dental trainees are offered an app comprising four key dental textbooks.

Four key textbooks, Clinical Dentistry, Traumatic Dental Injuries, BNF and the BNFc, are specially configured for mobile devices, the Medhand Mobile Libraries software functions independently of the internet and also possesses a cross-search facility.

Our ongoing evaluation will examine how the Medhand mobile libraries app supported Dental Trainees in primary, community and secondary and care dentistry, looking specifically at uptake, use and perceived value of the app.
