Dental Nurses and Technicians – Registration Deadline 31/7/08

From 31 July 2008 Dental Nurses and Technicians have to be registered with the General Dental Council (GDC).

Failure to be on the professional register will result in ineligibility to work in related jobs whether or not you were in the job before the requirement to register became compulsory.

Dental nurses and dental technicians who do not have the required professional qualifications may be eligible to join the register if they have enough experience. However this option will end on 30 July 2008.

Nurses and Technicians who don’t fully meet the experience criteria can register with a combination of less experience and some qualifications. However from 31 July 2008 new registrants will only be admitted on a strict qualification basis.

DON’T DELAY – REGISTER TODAY
