The recruitment process is being led by the GDC’s Appointments Committee. Chair Bronwen Curtis says: “This is a really exciting opportunity and we want to give people as much time as possible to think about whether this is the right role for them. All applicants will be considered on their individual skills and experience. We especially hope to hear from dental care professionals who traditionally have been less likely to apply for this kind of role with the GDC.”
The Fitness to Practise Committee is currently made up of 75 panel members: 38 dentists, 22 lay people and 15 dental care professionals (DCPs).
They are paid £353 a day and are reimbursed their expenses. It is a part time role, with member sitting for around 20 days a year.
Panels sit on the following kinds of Committees: Interim Orders Committee, Professional Conduct Committee, Professional Performance Committee, Health Committee and Registration Appeals Committee.
