The Dentists Act 1984 (Medical Authorities) Order 2025

This Order designates the University of Portsmouth (“the University”) as a medical authority which is authorised to hold examinations in dentistry and grant licences certifying the fitness of the holders to practise dentistry. This would enable persons who have passed such examinations held by the University or who hold such licences granted by the University as a medical authority, to be registered on the General Dental Council’s register of dentists provided that the person meets the relevant requirements under the Dentists Act 1984.
