GDC Postpones Vote on Dr Title

A decision by the GDC to postpone a vote on whether dentists should be able to continue using their 'Dr' title so that an impact assessment can be carried out allows proper consideration of the issue, the BDA has said.
The decision to take the recommendation back so that the impact of the issue can be properly considered follows a warning from the BDA that a change to the rules would create confusion, be perceived as a downgrading of dentistry and could disadvantage UK trained dentists. Implementing a change could also mean resources being wasted.
Flame Health will be following this issue, keeping you up to date on the outcome.
