Dentists and dental professionals are expected to uphold the highest standards of professionalism. When these standards are questioned, the General Dental Council (GDC) may launch an investigation into your fitness to practise. Facing such an inquiry can be daunting, but with the right guidance and training, you can demonstrate reflection, remediation, and commitment to professional standards.
Our Professionalism and Professional Standards for Dentists and Dental Professionals course provides tailored support for dentists and dental teams. This CPD-accredited course helps you align with GDC expectations, enhance your ethical decision-making, and prepare effectively for complaints, inquiries, and hearings.
Professionalism underpins trust between patients, colleagues, and the public. A lapse in professional standards — whether related to clinical practice, communication, or conduct — can result in GDC complaints and serious consequences for your career.
This course equips you with the knowledge and skills to:
Understand and apply GDC standards in daily practice.
Manage ethical dilemmas with confidence.
Demonstrate professionalism and insight when under investigation.
This course is ideal for:
Dentists and dental professionals under GDC fitness to practise review.
