It noted that she could seek restoration after meeting the requirements. Private details remain withheld.
Charges
An administrative appeal against removal from the dental care professionals register for failure to meet continuing professional development requirements for 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2025. This was not a misconduct hearing.
