About the CED  

 

Dr Wolfgang Doneus, President of the CED


The Council of European Dentists (CED) is a European not-for-profit association which represents over 320,000 dentists across Europe. It is composed of national dental associations and chambers from 30 European countries. Its key objectives are to promote high standards of oral healthcare and effective patient-safety centred professional practice across Europe, including through regular contacts with other European organisations and the EU institutions.
 
The CED is registered in the European Commission's Register of interest representatives and adheres to the Code of conduct for interest representatives, formulated on the basis of principles of openness and transparency. The CED defines its policy independently and is financed exclusively from membership fees.

CED members adopted two resolutions in connection to the anticipated review of Directive 2005/36/EC (Directive on the recognition of professional qualifications): on priority areas for the review and on proposed changes to the annex of study subjects for dental practitioners. They also approved a reflection paper on quality of healthcare and possible policy actions at EU level.

EU Manual of Dental Practice

The CED provides on its website information on topics relevant to the dental profession and oral health in Europe to the general public.  EU Manual of Dental Practice in particular contains extensive information on oral health systems and the ways in which dentists practise in 32 European countries. The EU Manual has been written as a practical handbook for dentists who are considering working in another country, and also serves as a source of regulatory and statistical data that may be of use to dentists, patients, researchers and policy makers alike.
