Specialist Advisory Committees (SACs) are intercollegiate bodies which advise on higher specialist training in the dental specialties. Their role is explained in greater detail in the 2008 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreed between the General Dental Council (GDC) and the Joint Committee for Postgraduate Training in Dentistry (JCPTD).
Implementation of the new MoU will have practical implications for the management and quality assurance of postgraduate dental education and the JCPTD has agreed to publish occasional Information Sheets for clarity.
