CPD Code of Practice

The Code has been developed to provide assurance to users of verifiable dental Continuing Professional Development (CPD) that a provider signed up to the BDIA Code is committed to using quality controls in line with the legal requirements set out by the General Dental Council.

BDIA Executive Director, Tony Reed, comments, “The BDIA is pleased to introduce our new Code of Practice which responds to a significant need in the marketplace for a system that supports access to a diverse range of high quality CPD activities”.

Every member of the dental team should expect outstanding quality when planning their professional development, just as they would when choosing new equipment and the BDIA Code of Practice for Dental CPD helps to identify providers dedicated to meeting these high standards.

The Code sets out what a user can expect from a verifiable CPD activity offered by a Code signatory and has been designed to be applicable to all types of CPD, including seminars, workshops, publications, online activities, exhibitions, conferences, training and workplace sessions, whether paid for or free of charge.
