An interim order is a precautionary restriction imposed before the regulator's investigation is complete. It is not a finding of fault — the underlying allegations have not yet been adjudicated.

    The GDC tribunal decided that conditions should be placed on dentist Robert Richard Goddard's registration for 18 months. The Interim Orders Committee made the order on 19 August 2026 and said it would be reviewed in six months. The conditions themselves appear on his entry in the GDC register rather than in this hearing record. An interim order is a temporary measure while a case is looked at. It is not a finding that the allegations are proved.
