Elections are held each year for several seats on the college’s council. In 2024, four role-based seats will be elected for the first time, one each representing dentists, dental hygienists, dental therapists, dental nurses, orthodontic therapists, dental technicians, and clinical dental technicians.
Those elected will serve three-year terms starting in June 2024, during which they will help to shape the college’s development, have the opportunity to be involved in areas such as careers, policy and standards, and be eligible to vote and stand in the annual election of two vice presidents of the college.
The elections, which are the latest step in a journey to build a Royal College for the general dental team, are taking place twenty years after the college’s predecessor organisation, the Faculty of General Dental Practice UK (FGDP), began admitting dental care professionals (DCPs) into affiliate membership.
