Useful organisations for professionals

As the statutory regulator of the dental team, we have a duty to be impartial in the information we provide on our standards and guidance. This means we are unable to offer advice on individual circumstances and situations.

For advice on interpreting our standards and guidance in relation to your individual practice, please seek advice from your indemnity provider, professional association or peers, as appropriate.

On this page, we have provided information on the organisations with a remit to provide advice and support to both GDC registrants and patients on the interpretation of our standards and guidance, as well as standards and guidance beyond our scope, such as clinical guidance, legal advice and workplace matters.
