Ensure correct address for GDC

20 April 2010

The GDC is asking all dental professionals to double-check that their registered address is up to date.

This is a requirement of registration and helps ensure you do not miss out on important GDC information. Dental professionals can check that their details are correct by logging on to www.gdc-uk.org and searching the registers using their registration number.

Dental professionals registered details (full name, registered address, qualifications and date of first registration) are all public information by law. Members of the public can check any registrant's details by contacting the GDC or by checking the Dentists Register or Dental Care Professional Register online.

Registration Projects Manager Sarah Arnold says: "When registrants move from their registered address whether home or work, the GDC should be on the check-list of organisations they need to contact. We regularly send things out by post – such as Annual Retention Fee information, Annual Practising Certificates and the Gazette. If these haven’t been arriving, it’s worth making sure we have the right contact details. The registered address can be of a home, a practice or even a Post Office Box number as long as it is somewhere we can get in touch, but remember, the address you give will be published on our website".
