Minimum requirements of specialist dental training

(1) The GDC shall not approve specialist dental training intended to lead to the award of a CCST unless that training meets the conditions specified in article 35 of the Directive (specialist dental training), or under article 22(a) of the Directive (part-time training) would be treated as meeting those conditions.

(2) The GDC may withdraw any such approval if it is satisfied that the training no longer meets, or under article 22(a) of the Directive would no longer be treated as meeting, the conditions specified in article 35 of the Directive.

(3) Part-time specialist dental training is permitted, under conditions approved by the GDC, where training on a full-time basis would not be practicable for well-founded reasons; and accordingly the GDC may approve part-time training which satisfies—

(a) the conditions referred to above in this paragraph;

(b) the conditions set out in sub-paragraphs (a), (c), (e) and (f) of paragraph (2); and

(i) the standard of training must not be lower than that of full-time training; and

Distinctive titles and specialist lists

8

(1) Paragraph (2) applies where the GDC is of the opinion that orthodontics or (as the case may be) oral surgery has become so distinctive that it would be for the convenience of the public or of the dental profession that registered dentists qualified to practise, or practising, in that branch of dentistry should use a distinctive title, and it decides to make regulations—

(a) under section 26(3) of the Act so as to prescribe a title for that specialty; or

(b) to prescribe such a title and also to provide for the matters specified in section 26(4)(a) and (b) of the Act in relation to that title.

(2) Where this paragraph applies, the GDC shall secure that the regulations mentioned in paragraph (1) provide that a registered dentist is entitled to use the title prescribed for a specialty and (if appropriate) to have his name entered in the list for that specialty only if (subject to paragraph (2A)) he pays any fee determined by the GDC on application for entry in the appropriate list, and—

(a) he holds a CCST awarded by the GDC under regulation 6 in the specialty in question;

(b) he is an eligible specialist as specified in regulation 9; or

(d) he is an existing specialist as specified in regulation 12; ...

(e) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(2B) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(3) Where the GDC exercises its powers under section 26(4) of the Act so as to provide for a specialist list in orthodontics or oral surgery, it must tell anyone who asks it (and pays any fee determined by the GDC) whether or not a particular person’s name is entered in the list in question, and must do so in writing if required, stating the date on which that person’s name was entered in the list and his registration number.

(4) For the purposes of paragraph (3), the GDC shall be deemed to have satisfied a requirement that it gives information in writing if it transmits the information to the person requiring it by facsimile or other electronic means.
