The General Dental Council (GDC) has issued advice on obtaining Continuing Professional Development (CPD). It’s now less than a year until nearly 40-thousand Dental Care Professionals (DCPs) will reach the end of their first five year CPD cycle. Of those who have declared what they have done so far 36% have logged more than the minimum hours; 11% have logged no hours. Dental Technicians are currently the least likely to have logged their hours - 22% having not yet declared any.
