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.

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.

NASDAL goodwill results show rising NHS practice values

The NASDAL goodwill survey for the quarter ending July 31, 2019 has witnessed both a sizeable increase in the average goodwill values of those practices sold and an even more substantial rise in practice valuations.  Almost all of the growth is in the average goodwill values of NHS practices as they continue their recovery after a difficult year or so.

GDC starts seeing sense with ARF

GDC starts seeing sense with ARF

Dentists around the UK have celebrated a drop of nearly a quarter in the General Dental Council’s (GDC’s) Annual Retention Fee (ARF) for dentists, following its recent consultation on its three-year strategic plan.

The new rate of £680 is broadly in line with where the ARF would have been had it only increased in line with inflation since 2014, when fee levels leapt from £576 to £890.

Dentistry is tough, I have written that phrase as an opening to several pieces in the past. Things haven’t got any easier, in fact quite the opposite. There is a crisis of confidence in many young, and not so young, dentists.

What people are saying about GDPUK

Karen Bridgewater, France

well done for explosive growth on GDPUK. Very impressive indeed, great posts- I love GDPUK, posters feel like my Brit friends.

Jennifer Pinder

"I work with people who arent generally in the loop about whats happening outside the 4 walls of the practice in dentistry. This forum has proved invaluable as a source of keeping up to date, and I often find now that when I get the Dental journals I already know a lot of the news ! Ive got clinical support, social support, personal support from here."

Rebecca Bayne

I love this forum as a way of keeping up to date with things.
