From 1 April 2011, all primary dental care services that provide regulated activities, whether NHS or private, must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Registration is a legal licence to operate. To be registered, a provider's services must meet essential standards of quality and safety.
The application process for registration will run from November 2010 to March 2011. Providers will be required to submit their application within an allocated window of time during this period.
To help influence and find out more about the registration process, you could join CQC’s provider reference group – an online community offering you the opportunity to engage with CQC’s work through a variety of methods, including 'virtual' events, live web discussions, surveys, discussion forums and polls. You can learn more and sign up at www.cqc.org.uk/prg
You can also sign up to CQC’s monthly e-update for primary dental care providers to keep you up to date with the latest information about registration at: www.cqc.org.uk/newsandevents/newsletter.cfm
