What CPD do dental nurses need to restore their GDC registration?
The GDC asks dental nurses for 10 hours of verifiable CPD for each year of their current CPD cycle, up to 50 hours. What you need to send depends on how long you have been off the register.
Off the register for less than 12 months
You do not usually need to send any CPD evidence.
Off the register for 12 months up to five years
You send evidence of verifiable CPD completed since your current cycle began, at 10 hours for each full CPD year.
Off the register for more than five years
You send five years of CPD evidence, which is 50 hours of verifiable CPD.
What to include
Your CPD activity log, your personal development plan and your verifiable CPD certificates.
The Get Back on the Register bundle gives you 50 hours, the most the GDC asks a dental nurse for. Always check the GDC's restoration guidance for your own situation before you apply.
