title: New horizons in the regulation of dentistry.
abstract: I'm delighted to have the opportunity to share with you my understanding of the much-needed and long-awaited reform of the General Dental Council. Change is moving apace and the new, modern GDC, for which the existing Council has been working so hard, is taking shape as part of widespread fundamental reforms in the regulation of healthcare.
