Surrey Local Dental Committee

The Surrey Local Dental Committee (LDC) is a statutory body who’s committee is comprised of elected dentists from the local area, working on multiple levels to represent and support the profession locally and nationally.

The LDC represents dentists to the NHS and other related bodies to discuss current and future affairs including current practice, guidance for commissioning and disciplinary matters in an effort to smooth the working interface between GDP’s and NHS England.

The LDC also offers a pastoral function for the local professional community, providing support, advice and representation for individual practitioners where required.

The committee relies on general dental practitioners paying a statutory levy to fund the work and expenses of the LDC. This enables the LDC to function and effectively represent and contribute to dental healthcare organisations.

All LDC members are dedicated locally based dental practitioners to ensure professionals in the Surrey area have their views listened to, valued and shared so they can continue to provide a high quality standard of care.
