    Appeal dismissed(appeal against removal dismissed)

    The GDC tribunal decided to dismiss Nicole McGarrigle's appeal against her removal from the Dental Care Professionals register. The Registration Appeals Committee found that Miss McGarrigle completed only 6 verifiable hours of CPD in the period 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2025, against the statutory requirement of 10 hours. While sympathetic to her personal circumstances, the Committee was not satisfied these amounted to exceptional circumstances, and upheld the Registrar's erasure decision as proportionate.
