Thousands of DCPs yet to make a compliant CPD statement

1 min read CPD requirements
With just under two weeks to go to the deadline for dental care professionals (DCPs) to make a compliant CPD statement, almost 6,000 are yet do so. Within that number, around 4,600 are yet to make a statement at all, and 1,400 have made statements which do not comply with the rules.

CPD rules require dental professionals to make a compliant statement every year, as well as at the end of their five-year cycle, by August 28, 2022, and the General Dental Council is calling on DCPs to make sure their statements are in order before it’s too late.

GDC chief operating officer, Gurvinder Soomal said, “The vast majority of dental care professionals renewed their registration last year with no complications, but more than 3,100 didn’t meet the CPD rules in 2021. That’s 3,100 DCPs who had paid their annual retention fee and made an indemnity declaration but failed to be compliant on CPD. We know that many of these were simple administrative oversights.
