About Us
The College of General Dentistry Scotland
Welcome
The College of General Dentistry brings together professionals from all areas of dentistry. Previously known as the Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK), we represent all grass roots dentists and members of the dental team. We are committed to raising standards and working together to improve the profession.
Our organisation in Scotland
On 1 July 2021, the Faculty (FGDP) in the West of Scotland became CGDent Scotland (CGD SCOT Community Interest Company). Although our name has changed we continue to run our Annual Study Day, Study Groups and support colleagues at student and VT level in particular.
CGDSCOT-CIC is an affiliate of The College of General Dentistry and works closely with our colleagues in CGDent UK but is a separate body
It’s our goal to encourage dental professionals across Scotland to share knowledge, learn new skills and work together to improve their practices for the benefit of patients and wider society.
Our directors and committee members understand what it’s like to work in or run a practice and the importance of learning new skills and supporting fellow colleagues. We have been through the learning processes of VT and life as an associate. Through our study days and MFDS tuition courses we are able to share knowledge and make it easier for the whole practice team to gain access to meaningful CPD.
It’s our goal to encourage dental professionals to share knowledge, learn new skills and work together to improve their practices.
