What the GDC means by verifiable
Verifiable CPD is activity with documented aims and learning outcomes, where you can show you took part, how long it lasted, and that it was quality assured. The usual evidence is a certificate. Non-verifiable learning can still make you a better clinician; it does not fill the hours total on your GDC declaration.
Incisal courses are built as verifiable activity: structured content, stated outcomes, an MCQ or equivalent assessment, and a certificate that names you.
What should be on a dental CPD certificate
GDC guidance for providers lists the details a completion certificate should carry so a registrant can keep proper evidence: the subject and learning content, aims and objectives, anticipated development outcome(s), date, hours, the participant’s name, confirmation of quality assurance (including who is responsible), and confirmation that the information is full and accurate.
That is the bar we write to. If a competitor’s certificate is a logo and a hour count, it is a weaker record.
Online verifiable CPD is still CPD
The GDC does not require you to sit in a hotel ballroom. Self-paced dental CPD online is valid when the activity is relevant, documented, and verifiable. Incisal is designed for that: complete when the list allows, keep the proof automatically, and spend chairside time on patients rather than on admin.
