The Overseas Registration Examination of the General Dental Council.
The Overseas Registration Examination is a route to entry to the UK Dentists Register for dentists who have qualified outside the European Economic Area. The role of the examination is to protect the public by ensuring that such dentists meet minimum standards of competence. Candidates invest considerable time and resource in attempting the examination. For these reasons it is essential that the examination is both robust and fair. This paper describes the fundamental principles of assessment underpinning the design of the examination and the steps taken by the General Dental Council's ORE Advisory Group to assure its ongoing quality.
