Continuing Professional Development

It is necessary for dentists by supporting them to maintain and update their skills, knowledge and behaviour throughout their working life.

Section 29A of the Dental Council Act concerning CPD is reproduced below:-

Notwithstanding section 29 but subject to subsection (2), “no registered person shall have his name entered on the annual list unless he has followed such Continuing Professional Development courses or training programmes as may be prescribed by the Council”
