GDC to publish new regulatory reform plans

The General Dental Council (GDC) has announced plans to publish new regulation for patients and dental professionals later this month.

To be issued on January 26th, the wide-ranging proposals aim to enhance patient safety and place greater emphasis on supporting and empowering the profession through processes such as education and learning.

Key priorities include improving the collection, analysis and use of information, data and intelligence, as well as engaging better with students to help them get their career off to successful starts.

Efforts will also be made to change the model of continuing professional development and work with education providers and stakeholders to ensure that professionals are well-equipped to understand and apply the standards expected of them.

Ian Brack, chief executive of the GDC, said: "We have been engaging with the profession and stakeholders over the past year, and now it is time to deliver professional dental regulation which is fit for the world we live in."
