Tooth Fairy app responds to media criticism of its launch

Tooth Fairy app responds to media criticism of its launch

The team behind the Tooth Fairy app has responded to media criticism of its launch, including inaccurate claims that they prescribe antibiotics, a claim that the Daily Mail has had to retract. They have also rejected the BDA’s scepticism about the app, which was based on the inaccurate Daily Mail article and which GDPUK reported. We are therefore publishing their response.

Dr. Aulak and Dr. Dhinsa have responded to this news story to say that things have moved on again and will change again in the near future. They will make a further new statment shortly.

Dental practices given clean bill of health

Dental practices given clean bill of health

The latest Care Quality Commission (CQC) report, State of Care, gives dental practices an almost clean bill of health, with over 95% needing no action following an inspection, in such critical areas as safety, effectiveness, ‘caring’ and ‘responsive’. But the report says that increased demand for frontline NHS dental services has led to ‘challenges’ in accessing appointments.

Pressure mounting to extend sugar tax

To add to the Prime Minister’s woes over Brexit, more and more pressure is being put on Boris Johnson to reverse his antipathy to the sugar tax. Latest to join in were the outgoing Chief Medical Officer, Prof Dame Sally Davies, whose report published today calls for the extension of the current tax on sugary drinks in her final report, and NHS England head, Simon Stevens, who said that the sugar tax had shown positive results.

What people are saying about GDPUK

Barry Rosenbloom

That is the beauty of this [GDPUK] forum as many of us practice in isolation often not talking and discussing matters with colleagues.
