<p>We have recently introduced legislation that enables the General Dental Council
(GDC) to increase the capacity of its Overseas Registration Exam (ORE) and improve
its international registration processes. It will be for the GDC, as an independent
regulator, to decide how best to use the flexibility that the legislation allows to
increase the capacity of the ORE assessment.</p><p>The current legal framework for
the ORE will remain in place until the GDC introduces new rules on the operation of
the ORE 12 months after the legislation comes into force, in March 2024. In the meantime,
the GDC has announced that it has tripled the number places for Part 1 of the ORE
in response to the current demand, meaning there will be 600 places available for
the August 2023 sitting of the ORE Part 1, instead of the usual 200.</p>
