A Polish translation of a patient leaflet has been launched online. 

The General Dental Council’s (GDC) Smile is now available in Polish as a PDF on the GDC website www.gdc-uk.org, it explains the role of the GDC; what patients can expect from their visit to a dental professional; and what they can do if they’re unhappy with their experience.

The Smile leaflet is also available in print in English and in EasyRead format.

The EasyRead version features larger font, pictures to support and help explain the text, shorter sentences and language that sounds natural when spoken. The PDF is compatible with screen readers with tagged images and can be printed or ordered from the GDC website.

The final version was user checked by the Making it Easier Group which gave its seal of approval to the leaflet.

Smile can be downloaded as a PDF in Welsh, Polish, Bengali, Chinese, Punjabi and Urdu from the GDC website.
