A Personal ID is a random 6 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 one to 9.
After you've registered as a dentist with the General Dental Council (GDC) and have applied to work for a Commissioner, Sustainability and Transformation Partnership or Local Health Board, you'll be created as an NHS clinician on the Compass system.
A Personal ID will be generated and issued.
Your Personal ID can be found in Compass:
- Select Clinician.
- Select Clinician Search.
- Select Search - your details will populate on the screen.
Your Personal ID will show in the 'Personal ID' column.
