If the BDA Did Not Exist?

What people are saying about GDPUK
Natasha Vadasz
The dentistry I do and the way my practice runs has changed so much for the better in the last year and its thanks to GDPUK. I have learnt more from the contributors here in the last year than in than 10-20 years of courses/reading prior to joining.

"Changes in the NHS, commercial pressures and the challenges of regulation have definitely made it more difficult to sit back and enjoy your dentistry.However, I firmly believe that GDPUK provides a wonderful family where practitioners can communicate, obtain support and advice. Practitioners need no longer be isolated. Help and advice is just a posting away."

Just a quick note to say how much I have enjoyed this site. - Thanks for all the hard work. It wouldnt allow GDPs like me to swap ideas and thoughts otherwise. The figures speak for themselves in showing how much a site like this is needed. Keep it up!!
