2018 Enhanced CPD
We are keen to help our members in making the transition to Enhanced CPD as smooth and painless as possible so we have introduced the following:
- All CPD certificates for CPD undertaken from January 2018 onwards (via Dental Update and Orthodontic Update) fully meet the new requirements
