Professionalism: Development of Self and Others (2)
Section 9: GDC Preparing for Practice
Welcome to Part 2 of our 'Development of Self and Others' course, designed to precisely align with Section 9 of the GDC's 'Preparing for Practice' document.
This part of the course focuses on the ongoing commitment to professional development, ensuring that dental practitioners maintain and enhance their knowledge, skills, and competence throughout their careers. Key topics include the importance of lifelong learning, staying updated with new techniques and technologies, and the very important role of self-assessment in delivering high-quality patient care.
You will learn how to effectively evaluate and integrate new advancements in clinical practice, recognise your own capabilities and limitations, and seek guidance when necessary. The course also emphasises the significance of demonstrating professional attitudes and behaviour consistently, across all environments and media, to uphold the integrity of the profession.
