Two new dental centres for Fife
July saw the completion of two new purpose-built dental centres in Fife, expanding the provision of NHS dental serv- ices in the Kingdom. The centres, situated in
Methil and Glenrothes, will both incorporate six surgeries as well as dedicated LDUs
and radiographic areas. They will be open to new patients by the end of August. The centre in Kirkland,
Methil, is in joint partnership with a local dental practi- tioner, Steven Ivatt, who will be relocating his existing practice. The centre in Glen- rothes is situated on Napier Road in Glenwood and will provide specialist services as well as routine family dental care. It is scheduled to open in the middle of August. The new devel-
opments are part of NHS Fife’s ongoing plan to main- tain and improve access to NHS dental services, which has already seen 36 additional surgeries added in seven dental centres throughout the Kingdom of Fife.

Reviewing professional development CPD SCHEME
The General Dental Council (GDC) has launched a review of its continuing professional devel- opment (CPD) scheme, that has been running since 2002 for dentists and 2008 for DCPs. The review will be considering
the role CPD plays in helping registrants to stay up to date and to practise in accordance with the GDC’s standards, as well as exploring the most effec- tive forms of CPD activity, and the best way of monitoring and administering it. Evlynne Gilvarry, GDC chief
executive and registrar, said: “We are very keen to hear from registrants and other stake- holders about their CPD experi- ences and how the scheme might be improved.”
