Below are some impor- tant thoughts you may have and actions you may take: • Consider the risk to patient safety • Consider what your options are • Ensure you are fully aware of the process you need to fol- low • Ensure you know how to in- form the individual • Ensure you know that the systems are in place to sup- port the individual • Know if this concern needs to be dealt with formally or in- formally • Decide what to do What the GDC says you should do regarding perfor- mance concerns is contained in its code of behaviour Stand- ards for dental professionals. Its guidance can be summa- rised as follows: • The duty to put patients’ in- terests first and act to protect them must override personal and professional loyalties • You have a duty to work within your knowledge, pro- fessional competence and physical abilities This responsibility includes making sure that you: • Get and follow medical ad- vice if you know that you have a serious condition which you could pass on to patients, or that your judgement or per- formance could be seriously affected by a condition or ill- ness • Get help if you have any oth- er problems which are affect- ing or may affect your profes- sional performance • Only carry out a task or type of treatment if you are sure that you have been trained and are competent to do it • Do not put anyone off raising a concern about your health, behaviour or professional per- formance • Co-operate fully with any procedure for investigating concerns which applies to your work In my next article, I’ll dis- cuss turning around poor per- formance.
