The GDC is the regulatory body for dentistry in the UK, and maintains a register of 102,000 dentists and dental care professionals.
The Investigating Committee (IC) plays a critical role in the GDC’s work to protect patients in considering complaints about the fitness to practise of dentists and dental care professionals. Investigating Committee members individually consider significant amounts of written information and evidence and then, as a panel, decide whether a matter should be closed, advice or warning letters issued or the case referred to a Practice Committee.
To be successful as an IC member, candidates will have excellent analytical skills and judgement. They will be able to consider large amounts of information and confidently express their assessment of a case. They will enjoy working as part of a panel, making reasoned decisions with objectivity and integrity.
Anyone who is interested in contributing to the GDC’s role in protecting patients and believes they have the particular mix of skills to be a member of the IC should visit the GDC’s recruitment website, here they will be able to access full information about the roles.
Applications must be made online and through this website. Please call our consultants Gatenby Sanderson on 0113 205 6090 only if an information pack is required in another format.
