Lower the annual registration for dental professionals
Every year dental professionals are forced to pay high registration fees to the GDC in order to be able to work.
Every year dental professionals are forced to pay high registration fees to the GDC in order to be able to work.
Every year dental professionals are forced to pay high registration fees to the GDC in order to be able to work As a new rule this year they are also making it manditory to have indemnity insurance which is bumping our annual fee up again. We are also given no options for working mothers that work part time or earn less, nurses that are on maternity leave there are no options to pay these fees monthly so therefore forced to pay the whole year.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The General Dental Council (GDC) is an independent statutory body.
