GDC to improve availability of the Overseas Registration Examination

1 min read GDC
The General Dental Council (GDC) has reviewed the feedback from its recent call for evidence on the structure and operation of the Overseas Registration Examination (ORE) and has published its outcome report.

According to the GDC, while no significant demand for immediate structural changes has been identified, there is a clear desire to improve the examination's availability. The regulator said this would guide its strategic planning for the future development of a comprehensive framework for international routes to registration.

Using legislation changes in 2023 to introduce rules for the registration of dentists and dental care professionals who qualify overseas, the GDC has increased the ORE capacity. The council said this has been a crucial step in modernising the international registration process, with more flexible contracts in place to deliver the ORE in 2025.
