Dental CPD
Dental CPD for dentists and the whole dental team
UK Dental CPD you can complete online: GDC-ready Enhanced CPD courses, instant verifiable certificates, a Personal Development Plan, and audit-ready tracking — in one portal, not five logins.
What is dental CPD?
Dental CPD is the GDC’s Enhanced CPD scheme: verifiable learning that keeps UK dentists, nurses, hygienists and therapists safe and current. Every registrant needs a Personal Development Plan, hours matched to their role, reflection, and certificates that stand up to audit. Incisal is Dental CPD online built around that cycle — not a generic LMS with a dentistry tab.
Dentists complete 100 verifiable hours over five years; hygienists and therapists 75; dental nurses and technicians 50. Incisal covers the topics practices search for most — medical emergencies, IR(ME)R, safeguarding, decontamination and oral cancer — then stores the evidence in one record.
