In 2013, the General Dental Council published its Scope of Practice guidance. The guidance set out the skills and abilities for each of the seven GDC registered professional title roles.
The GDC has released new guidance on the Scope of Practice. The new guidance does not change duties for registrants, but provides clarity on title role boundaries. The updated guidance also aims to support registrants to use their professional judgment within their scope of practice.
The new Scope of Practice guidance will come into effect on 1st November 2025. More information and a copy of the updated guidance can be obtained via the GDC website.
