Hearings and decisions

The Dental Professionals Hearings Service is the adjudication function of the General Dental Council and is separate and independent from our investigation and prosecution functions. The Hearings service is conducted and managed by independent Panels comprising of dental professionals and lay people.

Please visit the Dental Professionals Hearings Service website for all information relating to hearings. There you can find listings of upcoming hearings, a bank of past decisions, guidance and resources, and information for all who are required or wishing to attend a hearing. You can also find information about the independent Committees that hear and decide on cases.
