Compliance support when you need it most
Running a successful dental practice is no simple task. With so many regulations to meet and compliance criteria to understand, it can be a daunting task to even the most organised of practice teams.
To help make your practice life that little bit easier, at dbg we offer a wide range of compliance packages designed to provide you with valuable support and assistance when you need it most. These services include our unique Practice Assessment, as well as our CQC Interactive Workshop and our range of Risk Assessment packages that help you meet all your legal requirements.
A wealth of experience
With over 20 years experience in dentistry, at dbg we have all the skills, knowledge and experience to assist you in every area of your practice. Our compliance support team have been working closely with regulators for many years. This means we are in a unique position to give you the very best guidance and support in any matter relating to compliance.
Using our expertise and understanding of all relevant compliance issues in dentistry, we have created our innovative Member’s Area, which is free to all our members. This powerful online tool is a useful for practice managers everywhere, and can be tailored specifically to meet your practice’s needs. One of its great features is that it allows you to complete an online self-assessment in order to gain a better overview of where the practice stands in relation to full regulatory compliance. It also provides useful tips and guidance on steps that can be taken to bring your practice in line.
Peace of mind, guaranteed
At dbg we understand that compliance is no easy matter, and with the ever-increasing burden of regulation, it can be a challenge to keep on top of it all. For complete peace of mind we offer a number of carefully designed compliance support packages, including full Practice Assessments, available from as little as £695 + VAT. Each Practice Assessment is conducted by one of our certified trained assessors, who will spend the majority of the working day in your practice, checking for evidence and giving practical advice on how to bring your practice in-line with all current guidance and legislation.
If you have an inspection coming up, then a dbg Practice Assessment can be a great way to help you prepare and make sure you have all key areas covered. It can also be useful to invest in a Practice Assessment on a periodic basis to ensure your systems are in good working order and check that standards haven’t slipped.
To compliment our Practice Assessment package, we also offer our brand-new CQC Interactive Workshop that we have put together to give practice team members a better understanding of CQC regulations and what to expect. This two-hour training course is an excellent way of bringing staff members together to ask questions and work through role-play scenarios to help put minds at ease.
Packages to meet your every need
No matter what your compliance need, at dbg, we have you covered. Whether you need help with HTM 01-05, CQC, or the HSE we have a service for you. Our Radiation Protection Service for example has been designed to offer you a cost-effective means of meeting all your obligations under IRR99 and IR(ME)R2000. The service gives you access to a Radiation Protection Advisor, a Medical Physics Expert, and also provides you with an online radiation protection file to guide you through all your legal requirements. We also offer associated engineering services to help you keep all your x-ray equipment in full working order.
Beyond radiation services we also provide a selection of bespoke Risk Assessment services. These include our Legionella, Fire, and Health & Safety Risk Assessments. Each has been designed with dental practices in mind, and to guide you towards full compliance with current legislation.
With you every step of the way
To help you meet your compliance needs, our experienced team are dedicated to providing you with outstanding service and support, and are always on hand to answer questions and provide assistance when you need it most. If there are key areas of your practice that you need further help with we can also recommend products and packages to help you meet your regulatory obligations, with discounted rates for dbg members.

GDPUK Ltd today announces the sale of its intellectual property assets to Cogora Group, one of the UK's leading publishers of healthcare brands 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.”
GDPUK Ltd has worked to ensure an orderly transfer of the intellectual property and wishes Cogora every success in its future development.
