Student Fitness to Practise

When students pass their exams and apply to join our registers we expect them to understand and live up to the same high standards we expect of dental professionals.

We have produced guidance to help promote a positive approach to professional behaviour among students and to help education providers deal with issues which call into question whether a student is fit to practise.

This guidance covers:

• the types of professional behaviour and health standards expected of dental students;
• how fitness to practise can affect registration with us;
• when and how to make decisions about fitness to practise; and
• the key elements in student fitness to practise procedures.
