PDP guide

A Personal Development Plan that actually drives your dental CPD

The GDC expects a Personal Development Plan as part of Enhanced CPD. A PDP is not a form you invent the night before declaration. Incisal walks you through field of practice, SWOT, learning needs and a summary — then links the courses you complete back to those needs.

Why PDPs fail in dental practice

They are written once, saved as a PDF, and ignored. Enhanced CPD only works if the plan changes what you book. Incisal’s guided PDP is in the same portal as the course library, so “I need more medical emergencies this year” becomes a course, a certificate, and a reflection — not a sticky note.

The Incisal sequence

Confirm your details. Complete your field of practice. Perform your SWOT. Address your learning needs. Summarise the PDP. Start learning. That is the GDC story in the order a busy registrant will actually finish it.
