เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 7 พ.ค. 2013
The General Dental Council (GDC) is the UK's dental regulator. Our role is to protect the public. By law, dental professionals (both NHS and private) must be registered with the GDC to work in the UK. We regulate all dental professionals: clinical dental technicians; dental hygienists; dental nurses; dental technicians; dental therapists; dentists; and orthodontic therapists.
We do this by:
• Registering qualified dental professionals
• Setting and enforcing standards of dental practice and conduct
• Protection the public from illegal practice
• Assuring the quality of dental education
• Ensuring professionals keep their knowledge and skills up to date
• Investigating and acting upon complaints received about fitness to practise
• Helping patients and the profession to resolve complaints about private dentistry, through the Dental Complaints Service.
