Peer support service to aid stressed-out professionals

Dental professionals involved in stressful General Dental Council (GDC) investigations are being offered a new peer support service from the Dental Defence Union (DDU).

Launched in 2020 to help medical professionals undergoing GMC investigations, the service has now been expanded to include DDU members. The peer support programme connects members with a reassuring colleague who has been through a similar experience.

The DDU made the announcement to coincide with its parent company, the Medical Defence Union (MDU), publishing its latest annual report for 2022. Matthew Lee, MDU chief executive, said, “We are delighted to be able to extend the peer support programme to our dental professional members.
