Prescribing and GDC scope of practice
As a GDC-registered dentist, you already hold prescribing rights. However, aesthetic medicine sits outside the core scope of dental practice — which means demonstrating that you have gained the appropriate skills and knowledge to practise in this area is increasingly important from a regulatory standpoint.
Completing a regulated qualification such as the VTCT Level 7 Diploma is widely regarded as the most credible way to evidence that competency to the GDC. As regulatory expectations in aesthetics continue to develop, holding a postgraduate regulated qualification puts you in the strongest possible position — both clinically and professionally.
Interface Aesthetics recommends that all dentist delegates pursue the Level 7 as their primary training pathway. We are happy to discuss what this means for your specific circumstances — speak to our team before booking.
Several Interface Aesthetics lead trainers hold dual dental and medical qualifications — including Mr James Olding and Dr Yousrah Ahmed. You will be guided by people who understand the dentist pathway from first-hand experience.
Frequently asked questions
About Eligibility
All GDC-registered dentists are eligible — general practitioners, specialists, and dentists at any stage of their career. There are no restrictions based on your specialty or seniority.
About the Level 7 and the GDC
Aesthetic medicine sits outside the core scope of dental practice. A regulated postgraduate qualification such as the VTCT Level 7 is the most credible way to demonstrate to the GDC that you have gained the skills and knowledge required to practise safely in this area. As regulatory expectations continue to evolve, the Level 7 puts you in the strongest possible professional position.
As a GDC-registered dentist you hold prescribing rights. However, because aesthetic medicine sits outside the core scope of dental practice, we strongly recommend completing a regulated qualification and confirming your position with your indemnifier before moving into independent aesthetic practice.
Delegates have up to 36 months to complete the programme. The majority complete within 18 months, with the flexibility to manage training alongside an existing dental practice.
Yes — several of our lead trainers, including Mr James Olding and Dr Yousrah Ahmed, hold dual dental and medical qualifications. You will be trained by people who have navigated the same regulatory landscape and understand the dentist pathway intimately.
About support
Level 7 delegates receive a dedicated WhatsApp group, personal coordinator, clinical supervision between training days, a complications management course, webinars, clinical discussions, business development support, and full access to E-Interface — our online library of 100+ hours of clinical content.
