Does the DDU provide indemnity to DCPs for procedures such as botulinum toxin and dermal filler injections?
The GDCs current position is that only dentists are competent to carry out these procedures. Until the GDC alters its position, the DDU continues to advise DCP members not to undertake such procedures. Generally, any DCP who wishes to undertake a procedure outside the ‘normal’ duties of their group should provide the DDU membership department with full details of the procedures that they wish to undertake and full details of their training for such procedures.
