At the General Dental Practice Committee meeting in London on Friday 4th October a motion was proposed: “The General Dental Practice Committee recommends that an Emergency General Meeting of the BDA’s UK Council is urgently convened, to examine the impact of the new membership structure on the Association.” This was passed UNANIMOUSLY by GDPC.
