Scottish Dental Practice Committee
The Scottish Dental Practice Committee (SDPC) represents all non-salaried General Dental Practitioners (GDPs) practising in the NHS or privately, including orthodontists and assistants, in Scotland.
The SDPC meets three times a year to ensure that there is a regular opportunity for members of the committee to raise and discuss issues.
Our priorities
- Negotiating with NHS Boards and the Primary Care Directorate of the Scottish Government and other appropriate bodies on matters relating to the delivery and remuneration of dental services provided by non-salaried general dental practitioners, including orthodontists and assistants
- Discussing matters relating to the delivery and remuneration of dental services provided by non-salaried GDPs
- Liaising with the General Dental Practice Committee and Scottish Council.
