Appeal succeeded
The GDC tribunal decided that Sahar Wasiq's appeal against the refusal of her application to register as a dental therapist was allowed. The Registration Appeals Committee found that Ms Wasiq, who holds a dental surgery degree from Pakistan, had demonstrated the required knowledge and skills to work as a dental therapist in the UK. The Committee accepted advice from its Professional Adviser that her recent clinical experience in Pakistan and her oral evidence addressed the gaps identified by earlier assessment panels. The case was referred back to the Registrar to complete the remaining registration checks.
