Unity across dentistry in calls for registrant to chair GDC

It’s an unprecedented show of unity, that reflects the depth of feeling across dentistry.

Today professional bodies and specialist societies have come together to sign an open letter calling for the next General Dental Council chair to be a registrant.

From dental nurses to dental therapists, the message is signed by bodies representing almost all the regulator’s registrant group, specialist bodies from gerodontology to perio, and the full spectrum of NHS, private, routine and cosmetic dentistry.

Together we want to ensure our regulator’s next Chair can bring knowledge, insight, and empathy from the coalface to the task ahead.
