Complaints Procedure

The General Dental Council requires all dental professionals to:

Put patients’ interests first

Communicate effectively with patients

Obtain patients’ valid consent

Maintain and protect patients’ information

Have a clear and effective complaints procedure

Work with colleagues in a way that is in the patients’ best interests

Maintain, develop and work within our professional knowledge and skills

Raise concerns if patients are at risk

Make sure our personal behaviour maintains patients’ confidence in the dental profession

In accordance with these requirements, we operate a complaints process which aims to resolve any issues or concerns. These should be addressed to:

Complaints Manager,
