Waiving of CPD Requirements for the year 2021
This is to inform all Dental Practitioners that Council took cognizance of section 42(a) of the Finance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2021 and section 39(e) and section 5(7) of the Interpretation and General Clauses Act which provides for an exemption from the requirement to follow CPD courses for the year 2021.
The Dental Council is proceeding with the implementation of the provisions made in the law which, as stated above relates to an exemption from CPD for the year 2021.
All Dental Practitioners are therefore informed that for the year 2021 it will not be a legal requirement to provide evidence of having accumulated a minimum of 12 CPD credit points. Their names would be entered in the Annual list for the year 2022 only after payment of the Annual Practising Fee.
Please note that accumulated CPD credit points during the year 2021 will not be carried forward for the year 2022.
