Dental Professionals Hearings Service determination — registration appeal
Appeal against removal dismissed
The regulator’s term: appeal dismissed
What does “appeal against removal dismissed” mean?
The practitioner appealed against an administrative decision (typically removal from the register for non-compliance) and the regulator's appeal committee dismissed the appeal — the original decision stands.
Concerning Isobel Grace Johnson, dental nurse (General Dental Council 293238).
Decision date: 24 March 2026 · Hearing started 24 March 2026

The Registration Appeals Committee found that Miss Johnson failed to submit her annual CPD statement for the CPD year 2024-2025 by the required deadline, despite receiving multiple reminders. The Committee was not satisfied that exceptional circumstances existed to justify the failure, and upheld the Registrar's erasure decision.
