The Case Examiners considered an allegation that the Registrant’s fitness to practise was impaired by reason of misconduct due to the standard of care she had provided to one patient between October 2019 to December 2021. It was subsequently determined by the Case Examiners that there was a real prospect of most of the alleged matters being found proved and that the statutory ground of misconduct had a real prospect of being established by a Practice Committee. They also decided that it was highly unlikely there would be a repetition of the Registrant’s pertinent purported actions or omissions, and that there was no real prospect of the Registrant’s fitness to practise being found to be currently impaired by a Practice Committee. However, the Case Examiners have concluded that to close this case without action would fail to take into account the need to declare and uphold proper standards of conduct, and the need to maintain public confidence in the dental profession. Furthermore, the Case Examiners have given regard to the Registrant not allegedly complying with the appropriate provisions within the General Dental Council’s (GDC) ‘Standards for the Dental Team’ (September 2013) publication, such as Principle 3 (Obtain valid consent) and Principle 7 (Maintain, develop and work within your professional knowledge and skills). The Case Examiners have also taken into account the GDC’s ‘Case Examiner Indicative Outcomes Guidance’ (February 2018) and consider that a warning in this case is necessary to declare and uphold proper standards of behaviour and conduct. This warning is to be published for a period of 6 months, which is considered to be appropriate and proportionate in the circumstances and will ensure that a message is sent to the Registrant and to the wider profession regarding the importance of maintaining appropriate standards of conduct. The Registrant is reminded that this warning will form part of her fitness to practise history, even after it is no longer published and may need to be disclosed as required. The Case Examiners formally warn the Registrant that: • failure to take sufficient and appropriate radiographs, when necessary, could prevent the provision of effective treatment planning and treatment. In addition, the failure to make, and keep, the requisite reports for radiographs taken departs from accepted standards and can compromise patient care. She must ensure that the relevant guidelines and standards are followed. • if restorative treatment is to be provided, such as the provision of dental crowns, then it is undertaken to an adequate standard. • failure to obtain and document consent can have serious effects on the individual patient, and on the wider trust and public confidence in the profession. She must ensure that a patient’s valid consent is obtained at each stage of any investigation or treatment, keeping patients informed about the progress of their care, and recording the discussions had with patients, inclusive of those that relate to the process of confirming their ongoing consent and appropriately advising of any risks with the proposed dental treatment. • failure to undertake a systematic and appropriate assessment of a patient’s dental condition may result in deficient treatment planning and inadequate care. It is necessary to ensure that sufficient diagnostic assessments and pre-treatment investigations are carried out to assist with treatment planning.
