[2] The Dental Schools Council meet three times per year in February, June and October.
Twelve dental schools were represented at the first meeting, with each member donating one guinea to cover expenses.
The first topic discussed was the recommendation of a General Medical Council to maintain dental standards in the United Kingdom.
In 1932, a formal constitution was approved resulting in a new name - The Dental Education Advisory Committee of Great Britain and Ireland, which was later changed in 1937 to the Dental Education Advisory Council of Great Britain and Ireland (DEAC).
The current Chair is Anna Burrows, Senior Administrator at the University of Sheffield School of Clinical Dentistry.
