The General Dental Council (GDC), UK has developed and consulted upon a number of draft policy and guidance documents to support and underpin the operation of its new Fitness to Practise committees, whose powers came fully into effect in July 2006.  For more information about the new GDC fitness to practise procedures, click here.

  The GDC is now seeking views on three further draft policy and guidance documents to complete this present series of guidance.  They cover:

-- The Professional Performance Committee

-- The Health Committee

-- Preliminary meetings prior to fitness to practise hearings - a preliminary meeting should enable directions about procedure and evidence to be given in advance of the formal hearing, where this would assist a fitness to practise committee in performing their functions fairly, justly and efficiently.

  The closing date for responses to the consultation is Friday 27 October 2006.
