New findings in GDC Fitness to Practise data

Men are more likely to be involved in a General Dental Council's Fitness to Practise case than women and dentists were significantly over-represented at all stages of the process.

That's according to the GDC, which has just published its first analysis of its Fitness to Practise case data.

However, it cautions: 'The report reveals some important insight into the types of cases and dental professionals that appear in fitness to practise. However, this is just one source of information in a complex landscape, and is not, on its own, able to establish the factors that are causing these findings.'

It also reveals that dentists who came onto the register by taking the Overseas Registration Exam were less likely to be involved in a FtP case compared to their UK qualified counterparts but that dentists coming on to the register, having qualified in an EEA country, were overrepresented.
