eGDCFitness to Practise reports
Each year we publish a report about Fitness to Practise concerns. The report shows the number of concerns received; how many were closed through assessment and case review; how many progressed to a practise hearing committee.
The 2022 report shows shows that we received 1,264 concerns in 2022. (down 7% compared to 2021).
On average, of every 100 cases we received, 84% were closed through assessment and case examiner reviews, with only 16% progressing to a practice committee hearing.
We held 84 Practice Committee hearings in 2022 (31 fewer than in 2021, down 27%). This resulted in 18 dental professionals being erased from our registers in 2022, compared to 17 in 2021 and 25 in 2020.
