Foundation Membership – Dento-Legal Advisers

A very special opportunity is presently available for Dento-Legal Advisors to become Foundation Members of FFLM.

Applications for Foundation Membership of the FFLM are strictly time limited and will be considered only from August 2018 until the closing time of 23.59 on 31 July 2021, after which time, admission to  Dento-Legal Adviser (DLA) Membership of the Faculty will be by examination only.

The criteria used by other Royal Colleges for Foundation status have been adapted as the basis for
Foundation Fellowship of the FFLM.

• These criteria are:
• doctors or dental practitioners registered with the GDC / GMC or equivalent
• to have at least THREE years’ experience  in their respective specialty;
• possession of relevant additional postgraduate qualification(s) in medical / dental law or allied
  subjects.

Detailed guidance notes have been prepared to assist applicants, nominees and referees in completion of their applications and to assist them in presenting their application.

If you meet the requirements, you may  download and complete the application form and referee form and return these by email with supporting documents for consideration at the next Membership & Fellowship Committee (MFC).  The submission closing dates are available for each meeting held during the year.  It is important not to miss the Foundation closing date, so we would recommend not leaving your application until 31 July 2021, as incomplete applications will not be considered.

If the MFC approve your application, you then need to complete and sign a Form of Faith, make your subscription  and application fee payment, and then your membership will be shared with the Board for ratification to complete the process.  After Board ratification, your diploma certificate will be prepared and you will have the choice to have this presented at the next Annual General Meeting, or posted to you.
