Practice-branded membership plan provider Practice Plan has developed guidance notes for dentists completing the Care Quality Commission (CQC) application process.

All providers of dental care need to be registered with the CQC by 1 April 2011 in order to continue to practise legally. Practitioners need to complete an application form and submit it by 31 December 2010.

Following consultation with and advice from the CQC, Practice Plan has created an electronic guide to assist practitioners with completing the form.

Practice Plan members and anyone else requiring assistance can download the user-friendly guide for free from the Practice Plan website.
