Dental Professionals Hearings Service determination — interim orders hearing
Interim restrictions imposed — 1 year
The regulator’s term: interim order imposed
What does “interim restrictions imposed” mean?
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 current conditions are recorded on Ms Tariq's entry on the GDC's online register, which the regulator publishes as the canonical record of any restrictions on her practice.
