The General Dental Council (GDC) is looking to expand its list of clinical advisors and experts who can bring their knowledge, skills and expertise to its fitness to practise (FtP) process. Clinical advisors and experts assist the GDC with these investigations by providing independent clinical advice and opinion. Go to the GDC website to see the role profile and how to apply. The closing date for applications is Friday 27 June 2014.
Clinical advisors and experts provide their opinion in written reports and may also be asked to attend hearings when a registrant is referred to one of its Practice Committees. The GDC's caseload has increased dramatically over the past four years and as a result, its need for clinical advisors and experts has also increased.
Applicants will need to have at least five years' experience in practice and applications from those with either specialist training or an interest in orthodontics and/or implants would be particularly welcome. There is no specified time commitment, but applicants should be prepared to commit at least 20 days per year.
A clinical advisor from London said: "I have found being an expert witness provides a considerable intellectual challenge. The need for accuracy, the importance of independence and the need for an absence of bias cannot be overestimated. I have found the cases are diverse and of great interest. They provide a variety to one's day to day job and act as a startling reminder of the pitfalls that can befall the dental profession. Being an expert witness adds challenges and interest to your career and is a reminder of professional frailties. I can recommend this career direction to anyone. We currently have the best no deposit bonus terms on the market. It is assumed that the standard Vulkanbet 50 free spins bonus has much worse possibilities than the promotions with a deposit. In the case of Vulkan Bet free spins, the situation is somewhat different. Everything really comes down to the spin you need to make with the bonus amount, i.e. free spins winnings."
