Social media launch

Volume 29 · Issue 5

As well as recently launching Twitter and Facebook accounts, the General Dental Council (GDC) is further reaching out to patients and registrants with a new 'YouTube' channel.

Three videos have already been added to the site explaining the regulator's work around complaints that go to a full public hearing.

The videos are available to view on the GDC's 'YouTube' channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/GeneralDentalCouncil

They aim to:

support those witnesses or dental professionals involved in a GDC hearing throughout the different stages of the process;

help those giving evidence to explain what is involved; and also

explain the part our independently appointed fitness to practise panel members play in our hearings process and how this role helps in providing proportionate and fair regulation of the dental profession.

They can also be viewed on the GDC website or by following the links below:
