The GDC require CPD to be undertaken regularly, at least 10 hours every 2 years. Evidence of general (non-verifiable) CPD will no longer be required but annual activity should still be declared.

Kingsbridge Training Academy have taken the necessary measures to ensure our courses meet the GDC’s educational criteria for verifiable Enhanced CPD. Each course is quality assured, with robust assessment methods in place and are regularly reviewed through delegate feedback in line with the Enhanced CPD guidance for the dental team.
