Concerning Sudina Tanya Brandreth, dental nurse (General Dental Council 299180).
Decision date: 24 March 2026 · Hearing started 24 March 2026
In plain English
The GDC tribunal decided to dismiss Sudina Tanya Brandreth's appeal against her removal from the Dental Care Professionals register. The Registration Appeals Committee found that Miss Brandreth did not complete the required 10 verifiable hours of CPD for the period 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2025. While sympathetic to her personal circumstances, the Committee was not satisfied these amounted to exceptional circumstances that prevented her from completing any CPD, and upheld the Registrar's erasure decision.
Charges
Appeal against the Registrar's decision to erase Miss Brandreth from the Dental Care Professionals register for failure to meet the statutory CPD requirements for the period 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2025. She declared 3 verifiable hours for 2023-2024 and 3 verifiable hours for 2024-2025, totalling 6 hours against a requirement of 10 verifiable hours.
Findings
The Registration Appeals Committee found that Miss Brandreth had not completed the required CPD hours for the period 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2025. The evidence showed that the personal circumstances relied upon applied mainly during the second year of the cycle, with no explanation for non-compliance during the first year. The Committee was not satisfied the circumstances were exceptional enough to prevent her from completing any CPD over the two-year period. The appeal was dismissed.
