CPD Requirements
From 1st August 2018 the General Dental Council (GDC) introduced the Enhanced Continuing Professional Development (CPD) which runs in five-year cycles. https://www.gdc-uk.org/education-cpd/cpd
All CPD undertaken should be verifiable and the number of hours required is dependent of registration title:
| Minimum hours of CPD per cycle | |
| Title | Hours |
| Dentists | 100 |
| Dental therapists | 75 |
| Dental hygienists | 75 |
| Orthodontic therapists | 75 |
| Clinical dental technicians | 75 |
| Dental nurses | 50 |
| Dental technicians | 50 |
Verifiable means that when you have attended a course/study day, there are clear educational objectives aligned to the GDC development outcomes for the content delivered. You can leave feedback via an evaluation sheet, reflect on your learning from the course and then receive a Certificate of Attendance as proof of attendance.
You must also ensure that you complete at least 10 hours of verifiable CPD during any two-year period.
All our courses are booked via MaxCourse
