Annual renewal and changes to the DCP register
While there are a number of processes and further actions that need to be completed following the end of the annual renewal period, early indications are that the number of dental care professionals who have renewed their registration for 2020/21 is broadly in line with what we have seen in previous years.
We understand that the pandemic and the efforts to suppress it have put a lot of people in a tough position this year and that considerable uncertainty about the future remains. We will continue to encourage anyone who has not felt able to renew their registration to get in touch to discuss their options.
CPD statements due by 28 August
We would like to thank all of you for completing your renewal, despite the current disruption, and for your continued commitment to your profession. For some of you, there is one further action you need to take, which is to make your annual or end-of-cycle CPD statement.
We have previously advised that if you have a shortfall in CPD hours, due to COVID-19, that we will be flexible in our response to the exceptional circumstances you’ve faced. This has not changed. However, it is now very important that you make your CPD statement by the 28 August deadline.
If you have a shortfall, either in relation to the 10 hours over two years rule or the number of hours you need to complete in a full cycle, please just record your hours in the normal way. After the 28 August deadline, we will be in touch to explain what will happen next and any further action you need to take.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at cpd@gdc-uk.org.
