The overarching aims for the panel are: - to provide access to a group or groups of patients and the public, some of whose knowledge and understanding of GDC and dental regulation develops over time; - to ensure we reflect and harness the input of public and patients in as much of our work as is possible; and - to provide a flexible, responsive and cost-effective method for GDC to engage patient and public in our work\. There are three main objectives for public and patient engagement in our work: - to provide independently facilitated evidence about public views and perceptions of topical or current issues in dental regulation; - to provide independently facilitated public and patient views on their experience of the quality of dental services; - to obtain independently facilitated public and patient feedback about regulatory research and policy initiatives or communications being considered, developed or undertaken by the GDC\.
