General Dental Council 1 article

General Dental Council is the statutory regulator for dentists and dental care professionals in the United Kingdom. It maintains professional registers, sets standards of conduct and continuing professional development, oversees aspects of dental education and investigates concerns through fitness-to-practise processes. The GDC's mandate is public protection and professional regulation, not representation of dentists; advocacy, employment support and member services are provided by organizations such as the British Dental Association rather than by the regulator.
