The General Dental Council (GDC), has helped to bring the first successful case in Scotland for practising while unregistered. The dentist, from Greece, said he had made a ‘stupid mistake’. Ronnie Barogiannis from Aberdeen appeared at the Sheriff Court on 28th August 2013 and pleaded guilty to a breach of Section 38 (1) of the Dentists Act 1984. He was fined £500.
The General Dental Council (GDC) has updated its ‘Scope of Practice’ guidance. This was first published in 2009 and sets out the skills and abilities which each registrant group should have on qualification; and further skills which registrants in each group may go on to develop during the course of their careers. Registrants must only undertake a task or type of treatment or make decisions about a patient’s care if they are sure they have the necessary skills and are appropriately trained and indemnified. The updated version is available on the GDC website.
