Standing up for UK private dentistry

Meeting with the GDC

This week, the GDC made an announcement about its plans regarding the next 3 years and also announced an increase in the ARF. We have written to the GDC and also released a statement expressing our views on this.

As members will be aware, we have been engaging with the GDC since earlier this year. This is ongoing and we were made aware that some members did not receive the last email about this. It has been re-sent and the report can be viewed HERE. Apologies to those who have received the email a second time.

We’ve spent many hours trying to make sense of the rabbit warren that is the healthcare guidelines on the gov.uk website to try to answer the common questions that keep coming our way. We hope that we have produced something useful for members. Please read more HERE

The NI authorities have released further guidance which can be found HERE
