Under the policy, candidates who choose to provide evidence of their refugee status will receive priority booking for up to two attempts at both parts of the ORE, ensuring they have a fair chance to complete the registration process.
Refugee candidates will have access to a dedicated booking window before general bookings open. Priority booking for refugee candidates for each part of the exam will open two weeks ahead of the general booking windows for the April 2025 ORE sittings. The priority places for refugees are expected to represent a small percentage of the overall number of seats.
Stefan Czerniawski, executive director of strategy at the GDC, said, "We recognise the distinct challenges faced by refugee dental professionals in their paths to registration. By providing priority exam access, we're helping skilled professionals restart their careers and provide much needed dental care in the UK at a time when their expertise continues to be in high demand.
