The need for regulation is not just related to the protection of the public, but from a service/workforce perspective regulation enables standardisation, so that new roles are defined and recognisable, and skills are transferable between employers.
The use of a centralised call centre enables standardisation of procedures to be easily achieved with constant quality assurance, outcome monitoring and data collection built into the operational system.
It is not clear why the design was subsequently enlarged to become a smaller version of the Merchant Navy class 4-6-2 as the likely traffic requirement did not warrant such lavish provision, but the incorporation of components from that class enabled standardisation during wartime production difficulties.
These angles were selected to enable standardisation of knee joint positions and across 10 repetitions.
An index array was stained aside each cohort array to enable standardisation of the assay, along with negative (no primary) and positive controls.
The coder's manual was developed to enable standardisation of the coding procedure and to facilitate calculation of inter-rater reliability.
Meta-analysis was limited to studies which provided effect estimates in numerical, rather than graphical, form along with sufficient quantitative data to enable standardisation of estimates.
By analogy with the use of inbred strains of mice for gene targeting for isolating the effects of genes, as well as controlling for background genome effects, this would enable standardisation of studies among laboratories.
This programme, which became Childsmile Core, built on pre-existing local NHS Board-based toothbrushing initiatives, and enabled standardisation across the country with national procurement of the toothbrushing supplies and the publication and implementation of national standards for toothbrushing programmes [ 12, 13].
However, clinical assessment should also involve an objective and quantitative evaluation of pain, such as PPT measurement, which enhances the quality of data and enables outcome standardisation and comparison.
For both techniques, a three-stage indirect immunoperoxidase technique was performed on Nexes Ventana automated staining module (Tucson, AZ, USA), which enables a standardisation of reaction time and temperature, washing procedures and development of staining and amplification.
