    Suspended from practice· 1 year

    The GDC tribunal decided that Ms Gooch should be suspended from the dental nurse register for a further 12 months, with a review before the order expires. This was the first review of a suspension imposed in April 2025 for failing to co-operate with a GDC investigation. The Committee found Ms Gooch had not engaged with the GDC and provided no evidence of insight or remediation, so her fitness to practise remained impaired.
