Erasure(struck off the register)
The GDC tribunal decided that dental nurse Salama Begum should be erased from the register, with an immediate suspension order. The Professional Conduct Committee found she offered and provided tooth whitening services outside a dental nurse's scope of practice and without indemnity cover, putting patient safety at risk, and that she acted dishonestly by denying the work to her employer and falsely telling the GDC it had approved the service.
