An Update on Revalidation

Patients need to have confidence that the professionals providing their dental care have not only shown that they are up to standard when they first join the General Dental Council register, but can show that they remain up to standard over the course of their working lives.

Revalidation will build on the current requirement for dental professionals to show that they keep their knowledge up-to-date by carrying out continuing professional development (CPD).

Karl Bishop has kindly provided the BSRD with a news item on this current hot topic updating members on Revalidation. This is available in the 'Members Discussion Forum' under 'BSRD Members News Items'.
