The GDC agreed in December 2005 to the principle of the establishment of a Specialist List in Special Care Dentistry (SCD). The Council Meeting of 3rd and 4th September 2008 agreed to the setting up of a speciality in Special Care Dentistry, from 1st October 2008.
The two year transitional period for joining the List on the basis of existing specialist training, qualifications and experience between 1 October 2008 and 30 September 2010 has now closed.
The GDC has published the training curriculum for Special Care Dentistry.
