GDC to appoint new quality assurance inspectors

09 May 2012

The General Dental Council (GDC) is looking to appoint a number of registrant and lay members to its panel of inspectors for pre-qualification education programmes.

All UK courses leading to registration as a dental professional are subject to quality assurance undertaken by the GDC and as such the new inspectors will be involved in looking at a range of education and training programmes.

The GDC is looking for individuals who are committed to ensuring the standards of pre-registration dental qualifications. Registrant inspectors will have experience of dental education and training and lay inspectors will have an understanding of professional practice and regulation.

Applicants will be able to demonstrate sound judgement, impartiality and effective communication skills. They will be asked to commit approximately six days per year to the role.

Anyone wanting an application pack can find them on the GDC website www.gdc-uk.org
