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.

Concerning Mark Nduku, dental nurse (General Dental Council 191189).

Decision date: 17 February 2026 · Hearing started 17 February 2026

In plain English

The Dental Professionals Hearings Service published an Interim Orders Committee decision for Mark Nduku. The committee continued the interim suspension under a 12-month order. This is an interim, precautionary decision while the GDC process continues, and the public detail page does not record final findings about the underlying concerns.

Charges

The DPHS public detail page records an Interim Orders Committee decision. It does not set out final charges or final findings; interim orders are precautionary restrictions while the GDC process continues.
