Registration drop in days

The GDC is encouraging dental technicians and dental nurses who have not registered to attend one of a series of planned registration drop in days.

To call yourself a dental technician or dental nurse from 30 July 2008 you will need to be registered with the GDC. If you don't have a current qualification and plan to register on the basis of a qualification that is no longer awarded, by experience or by previous membership of the voluntary register you must do so before 30 July 2008 - after the deadline the only way to register will be with a qualification.

In order to aid this process we are holding registration drop in days around the country.

We can check application forms as well as offer advice on the registration process. If everything's in order we can take completed forms back to the office for processing. Completed forms and accompanying documents can be submitted by colleagues for those who can't make it themselves.

You can download an application pack in advance.

Please remember to bring certified copies of all relevant supporting documents.
