The GDC acknowledged that its investigations can be intrusive and recognises that stress can be caused not just by the experience but also by the public availability of information while an investigation is ongoing.
From June 2, 2024, the Dental Professionals Hearings Service will no longer publish determinations made by the IOC. Instead, the outcome will be published on its website after a hearing or review has taken place, including any action taken to protect the public, patients, or dental professionals. Any restrictions on registration will continue to be added to the online register on the GDC’s website.
The change is part of the GDC’s ongoing commitment to reduce the negative impacts of the fitness to practise process on dental professionals’ health and wellbeing.
