Survey reveals public support for NHS to be shielded from Covid litigation

A survey from the Dental Defence Union (DDU) of 2,108 UK adults has found that 70% think dental professionals, doctors and other NHS staff involved in providing treatment to patients during the Covid-19 pandemic should be able to do so without the risk of the NHS being sued for negligence. What’s more only 7% of respondents disagreed with this.

Fair enough, it’s patient choice, but I do wonder whether patients who travel abroad are FULLY informed about treatment options and the potential consequences of treatment.

For several years it was my honour to be the opening speaker at the annual scientific meeting of the BDA Western Counties Branch, Young Dentist Group (YDG). The challenge for me in, say, 2016 was to try to share some perspective on changes in dentistry. In 2016 it had been 43 years since I embarked ...

This is not a plug for my friend’s laboratory. This an unashamed plug for UK dental laboratories. Because if we don’t support them in some way or another NOW, there won’t be any UK dental technicians left to complain about your lab tills to.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t believe I’ve ever met a ‘normal’ person working in dentistry.But that begs the question, what IS normal? My definition would be anything or anyone NOT connected in any way, shape, or form, to dentistry.

What people are saying about GDPUK

Adrian Nalden

AFAIC Tony is up there with Martin Lewis. Indeed the GDPUK shortcut is right next to MSE at the top left of my shorctut toollbar. Without either, I would be much poorer and almost certainly not working here.  I simply could not have got where I am today without this forum.

"I`d simply like to say a heartfelt thank you to Tony for this wonderful site, GDPUK. It is a source of invaluable unbiased thoughts and opinions. I have no doubt Tony invests much time to keep the whole process functioning brilliantly. "

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!!
