**The College of General Dentistry Trustees Annual Report** 

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 29 February 2024. 

## **Chair of Trustee’s Report for period March 2023 to February 2024** 

The early stages of development of the College have taken us on a considerable journey: a thorough reassessment of our role as a professional body, identifying where we can make the most effective difference for patients and public, whilst drawing on the talent of our membership and the established credentials of the organisation: “setting standards, supporting careers”. 

Fellowship of the College, in particular, has become a well-established mark of achievement and capability – and our Fellows are amongst the most enthusiastic supporters both of our mission and our aspirations toward a Royal Charter. It is through growth in the number of Fellows that we have been able to secure the College’s base of income and start looking forward with a more strategic perspective. 

Our twice-a-year Fellows Receptions are, not surprisingly, providing the heartbeat of the College, and consistently oversubscribed. We have been gathering at the Cutlers Hall in London, providing a perfect environment for engaging with peers amongst our remarkable leadership community. In this post-COVID era, the value of such personal interaction should not be underestimated. 

In the transition from FGDP to an independent College, it’s been vital for us to demonstrate that we remain good custodians of clinical standards and guidance in general practice. A key development will be the review of the keystone publication, Standards in Dentistry, to be consulted upon through 2024 – and our other authoritative guidance publications will continue to be reviewed on a consistent and dependable cycle thereafter. 

We are acutely aware that postgraduate dental training has become a confusing, as well as expensive concern in recent years; and it has become increasingly clear that the College should not try to compete where others offer credible qualifications. With this in mind, we have moved to close the small number of courses that the College inherited from FGDP, and for which candidature has recently dried up. Our attention is now focused on alternative ways to support practitioners in making these key decisions, so that they can have confidence in the investment of their time and money. 

The prestigious College Medal was awarded in 2023 to Dr Andrew Hadden, for exceptional service of the dental profession and its patients in a manner aligned with the values and mission of the College. Most well-known for his Editorship of _Clinical Examination and Record Keeping: Good Practice Guidelines_ ¸ Andrew has been a self-effacing but deeply committed contributor to the work of the former FGDP(UK) and new College. 

We were overjoyed to learn of the elevation of our Hon Founding President, Prof Nairn Wilson CBE, to a knighthood in the King’s Birthday Honours of 2023 (the first dentist to be so recognised for many years). His personal vision for the new College continues to inspire so many of us. 

We have continued to build on the policy influence that the College has established, with positive relationships being fostered with many key stakeholders. In March 2023, the President had the opportunity to address a Parliamentary Select Committee meeting on the future of dentistry, and in December, he participated in a round-table meeting with the Minister for Primary Care, alongside a host of other opportunities to share the College’s perspective on the dental “ecosystem”.

## **Trustees Annual Report** 

With so much concern about the future of the workforce, we have been exploring ways for the College to support early career dental professionals. In November 2023, we ran a “NextGen leadership” meeting, with a group of ambitious young people in the final stages of undergraduate training and their first year in practice. Supported by senior practitioners as facilitators, we explored with them the opportunities and challenges of leadership in the fast-evolving environment of practice. 

The _Primary Dental Journal_ continues to provide an invaluable reference for our members. Particular praise has been received for the Winter 2023 issue on dental trauma, guest edited by Beth Burns of Glasgow Dental Hospital, and the two-part series on aesthetic dentistry in the Summer and Autumn, guest edited by Subir Banerji and Shamir Mehta. The journal continues to grow in its international reputation under the confident Editorship of Prof Igor Blum. 

2024 marks the end of tenure for the College’s first President, Dr Abhi Pal, who has led with unending enthusiasm and energy, and a new process for selecting his successor was agreed by the College’s Trustees and Council, opening the opportunity to all College Members & Fellows. 

With the departure of Elizabeth Kay and Lesley Pan from the Trustee Board, we are pleased to welcome Marie Parker FCGDent as a dental Trustee, and Jane Clarke as independent Trustee. Marie brings new perspectives as an academic and former Dental Nurse, whilst Jane’s guidance will be invaluable on governance matters, following her past role with the Royal College of Nursing in particular. Finally, I’d like to express my personal thanks to colleagues: my fellow Trustees, members of the College Council, Faculty Boards and staff. Membership is at its heart of what we do, and we are enormously grateful for the support and confidence they have shown in our work. We ask that Members & Fellows encourage fellow Professionals to actively participate in our journey.

Trustees are proud of the achievement in the continued growth in the operation of the College over the last year. A number of membership recruitment initiatives have led to a growth in membership, in particular via the recruitment of new Fellows. 

They have also overseen investment in the development College’s CRM and website infrastructure. This has included the launch of a publicly accessible Member Register, to allow members to display their educational and career achievements alongside their membership of the College. 

The Certified Membership scheme has provided support guidance for its first group of candidates: a modern approach in supporting dental professionals to find their way and build a career in a fast-moving and confusing world. 

We have also developed strong links with the early years practitioners, and undergraduates through a number of successful events including a clinical competition and a ‘NextGen’ student conference. CGDent remains the authoritative body for standards in dentistry, reflecting our commitment to setting standards and supporting careers. We continue to revise and update our standards to serve the profession, and have started the scheduled review of one of the College’s flagship publications, Standards in Dentistry.

**The College of General Dentistry Independent Examiners Report** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The College of General Dentistry** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The College of General Dentistry for the year ended 29 February 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act. 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the Charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

As the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of FCA, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act ; or 

- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
