A Personal ID is a random six-digit number allocated to every qualified NHS dentist. Your Personal ID will remain the same throughout your NHS career, regardless of any breaks in service you may have. A Personal ID can begin with any digit from 1 - 9.
After you have registered as a dentist with the General Dental Council (GDC) and have applied to work for a Commissioner (Sustainability and Transformation Partnership / Local Health Board), you will be created as an NHS clinician on the Compass system and a Personal ID will be generated and issued.
Your Personal ID can be found in Compass.
