Guest Contributors

Christmas Was February As a committed Labour Party member it is quite something to be impressed by a Conservative Party Minister and Secretary of State for Health, but I have to say this is precisely the case.

What people are saying about GDPUK

Mike Day

"I was approached by Tony back in 1997 as he was thinking of starting a dental mailing list. I think there were 10 of us at that time. It`s now grown to be THE influence within general dental practice & beyond."
