Dentists belong to a regulated profession that has to comply with the Professional Standards published by their governing body the General Dental Council (GDC). Dental practices must also comply with the conditions published in two UK Statutory Instruments relating to Electronic Commerce (2002 No 2013) and Privacy and Electronic Communications (2003 No 2426) together with those of the Data Protection Act 1998.

Valident sets out the specific regulatory requirements that have to be met by dental practices and their staff as a result of this legislation. Those practices that have complied with the legislation are listed at www.practicesearch.com together with their Valident accreditation.
