Fitness to Practise panel

Fitness to Practise panel members

Membership of the GDC's Statutory Committees which make decisions on dental professionals' fitness to practise is drawn from an independent pool of dental professionals and lay people called the Fitness to Practise Panel. These panellists can sit as members of Interim Orders, Professional Conduct, Professional Performance, Health or Registration Appeals Committees.

The Fitness to Practise panel is made up of dentists, lay people and dental care professionals (DCPs).
