Applying for the NHS Dental Performers List and hit an unexpected disclosure hurdle? 😬

When one of our dental members was accused of dishonesty over an undeclared overseas conviction, our team at MDS stepped in to fight their corner. We proved that under UK regulations the overseas matter didn't require declaration and that full transparency was maintained - securing their conditional inclusion on the Performers List!
