Therefore, all applicants are urged to follow the instructions carefully to ensure their submission is complete, in the correct format, relevant to oral surgery delivery only, sufficiently evidenced and supported by referees who are either on the GDC Oral Surgery Specialist Register, Consultant Oral or Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons.

The attached Application and Reference Forms should be completed and emailed together with the portfolio of clinical evidence specified no later than 16th November 2025 to [email protected]

However, if you have any questions or would like further guidance, please email: [email protected]

Kind regards
