This guidance examines the relationship between the General Dental Council's requirements and the Equality Act 2010, setting out the principles that should inform decisions about fitness to train, occupational health assessments and adjustments in teaching, learning and assessment.
Developed jointly by the Dental Schools Council and HEOPS, the guidance outlines how reasonable adjustments should be considered for disabled students applying to and studying on UK undergraduate dental programmes. It explores how dental schools can support students while ensuring they are able to meet the professional standards required for registration and safe clinical practice.
