GDC fitness to practise panel members

The GDC is delighted that colleagues are considering applying for the post of Fitness to Practise panel member with the General Dental Council. They trust that you will find the following information both informing and thought provoking as it explains more about the GDC.

Fitness to Practise panel members play a critical role in the GDC?s work to protect patients. The GDC has the power to take action by either removing or restricting a dental professional?s registration if they fall short of the high standards expected. The panel members will sit in public hearings and can consider cases where a registrant?s fitness to practise may be impaired due to their health, conduct or performance, as well as applications for restoration to the registers and appeals against registration decisions.
