Dear Mr Pieter,

Thank you for your information request received on 5 March 2018 set out
below for ease of reference:

Can you please disclose how many of the dentists who are registered with the GDC
are known to be involved in Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Practice:

either

1. Part time

or

2. Full time 

We have considered your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(“the FOI Act”). I must advise you that the GDC does not hold the
information that you have requested.

I can provide you with a little more background around this subject. 
Following a review of the regulation of cosmetic interventions led by
Professor Sir Bruce Keogh, Health Education England (HEE) was mandated by
the Department of Health to work with regulators, Royal Colleges and other
stakeholders to conduct a review of the qualifications required for
non-surgical cosmetic interventions and the qualifications required to be
responsible prescribers as well as to make recommendations on
accreditation of qualifications and course delivery.

Whilst the GDC was invited to join, and participated in, the advisory
group which was set up to review the qualifications required for
non-surgical cosmetic procedures, the subsequent qualification framework
was developed under the auspices of HEE itself and not the GDC. 

We do not collect or record information about individual registrants’
choices regarding their scope of practice (including, in addition, whether
or not they are involved in cosmetic (aesthetic) practice).  Similarly, we
do not collect or record information about whether individual registrants
work full or part time.

Internal review and complaints procedure

I hope you have found my response helpful. However, if you are unhappy
with our reply or with the way your request for information has been
handled, you can request a review of our decision by writing to our
