The General Dental Council (GDC) is seeking to appoint dentists, dental care professionals and members of the public (lay) to the crucial roles of Fitness to Practise (FtP) Panel members. Applications must be made online through their recruitment website at www.gdcpanelappointments.com Deadline for applications is noon on Tuesday 18 November 2014.
The GDC says: “FtP Panel members play a critical role in its work to protect patients. The Panel members sit in public hearings and consider cases where a dental professional's fitness to practise may be impaired due to their conduct, performance, or health. They also hear applications for restoration to the registers and appeals against registration decisions.
“Applicants should have excellent analytical skills and judgement and be skilled communicators, as well as enjoy working as part of a team and making reasoned and, on occasion, very challenging decisions. The GDC is looking for individuals who are committed to helping ensure patient safety and who approach their work with integrity and objectivity.”
