The General Dental Council (GDC) is seeking up to two new dental professional members and four lay members to join the council.

The chair of the GDC, William Moyes, said, “The GDC is embarking on a far-reaching programme of work to reform dental professional regulation to ensure patients’ interests are more firmly at the heart of what we do and for regulation to be more proportionate and fair.

“It is a crucial time for the GDC with the launch of Shifting the Balance. As a council member, you will play a vital role in shaping our plans.

“We are looking for individuals with experience of supporting confidence in public services, the capacity to understand the organisational and business issues facing the GDC and experience of providing strategic input to an organisation.”

Completing his second term as a member of the council, dental care professional (DCP) David Smith said, “I joined the council because I wanted to make a difference to patients. It is important that all of the professions are represented during the decision-making process, including DCPs.
