PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS

The professional standards committee has a responsibility, as a self-regulating profession, to promote accountability to the public and to its members.
The purpose of the professional standards committee is to receive information relating to the practice of a dental prosthetist. Upon receipt of this information the Committee is responsible for determining whether there has been, or is still, a contravention of the required standard of practice, or whether there has been a breach of the code of ethics as described by the Association. The Committee must act to resolve the situation with as little disruption to all parties or to communicate with the Executive Committee as to an appropriate course of action in relation to a report received.
