GDC – Last chance saloon ?
But last chance for whom?
Good morning worker bees. Get you cheque books ready. It looks like £890 is the scrap of ARF meat being fed to the lambs that are called the Council, led by Cruella deVil’s partner in professional fur-fights, Chairman Bill.
You should have all received yet another patronising diatribe from ‘er up top in which the choices are summed up as “Ignore your dentists and their fiscal stakeholder role in the GDC and keep the DCPs on side”.
You have three days. If you cannot be bothered, pay the price.
If you cannot afford this before Christmas, get lobbying NOW. You can see the GDC Council Members on line – mail them, let them know your feeling, for all things being equal, on Thursday you wallet will be shoehorned open by a large amount.
The Council must act with courage reject these options and simply ask that the Executive come back with a more acceptable solution.
Incompetence carries a price and it appears to be the order of £900.
Of course how you pay is up to you. There is a general feeling that you should cancel your DD.
I saw a comment that £576 by cheque and any increase by Postal Order, each sent separately and by Royal Mail Special Delivery which caught my eye. Mind you don’t get caught speeding; if the Magistrate hears it you will be up to the GDC for an FtP Party.
Ironic really that of course next year’s increase will have to cover the admin costs of this year’s collection.
How do you feel?
The word “shafted” comes to mind.
Will Contract Reform cover this additional cost, allied to the Medico Legal cover increases? Quite.
Can you imagine the medics letting the GMC do this? Quite
BDA Judical Review
So the BDA driven Judicial Review is all the profession has. Guess what? Cruella has palmed it off it seems in a manner a rugby player wold be proud of.
Do not dismiss the BDA efforts - this may yet turn into the professional gunfight at the Wimpole Street Corral
Let’s think positively. What shall we get Cruella for a leaving present?
Spooky how Haloween is here at the same time. Kee-eep dancing :)

GDPUK Ltd announces sale of intellectual property to leading publisher Cogora Group
GDPUK Ltd today announces the sale of its intellectual property assets to Cogora Group, one of the UK's leading publishers of healthcare brands, events and educational platforms.
The decision to sell GDPUK’s intellectual property forms part of a considered transition to ensure the long‑term stewardship and development of the brand and associated assets. Cogora brings a wealth of experience and expertise to support the continued evolution of the dentistry brand within its wide portfolio of market-leading healthcare publications. Its award-winning titles include Pulse, a long‑standing and widely recognised source of political news and clinical education for GPs, Nursing in Practice, Management in Practice, The Pharmacist, Pulse PCN and Healthcare Leader, as well as two secondary care publications – Hospital Healthcare Europe and Hospital Pharmacy Europe. The purchase will cement Cogora as the biggest publisher of primary care titles in the UK and allow it to bring its expertise in providing news, analysis, opinion and groundbreaking stories to GDPUK, as well as continue giving dentists and dental staff a voice through its website.
“After careful consideration, we believe that Cogora is well positioned to take GDPUK’s intellectual property forward,” said Tony Jacobs, founder, editor and publisher of GDPUK.com . “This transaction provides continuity for the professional community associated with GDPUK and creates opportunities for future growth under experienced ownership.”
Tony will continue involvement in GDPUK on a consulting basis.
GDPUK Ltd has worked to ensure an orderly transfer of the intellectual property and wishes Cogora every success in its future development.
