Abstract

This paper looks at the historic background to the GDC's proposals for revalidation of the dental profession. It also outlines what the process might be like and the various stages of revalidation and the need for a modern 21st Century Healthcare Regulator to be seen to set the standards of performance expected by the public and patients of all its registrants.
