DENTSPLY and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh team up for Dental Skills Competition
Dental students in their final year at participating universities will get the chance to showcase their talents in a nationwide Dental Surgery Skills Competition. This inaugural contest is organised by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh’s (RCSEd) Faculty of Dental Surgery, and sponsored by DENTSPLY.
Students who wish to participate will be invited to apply through the RCSEd website. The first 25 eligible students to register from each school will get to represent their university in the regional contests.
The regional heats will be held at Dental Schools from October to December 2013, where the students’ clinical dental skills will be judged. As a sponsor to the competition, DENTSPLY will be supplying the participants with materials they need for the skills tests such as burs, rotary endodontic files, composite material and light curing units.
The winners from each regional event will be invited to the final at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in March 2014. The final competition at the RCSEd will take the regional winners through various skill stations.
The winner of the Dental Surgery Skills Competition will receive an expenses-paid trip to America to attend the Chicago Dental Society’s Midwinter Meeting in February 2015, courtesy of RCSEd’s Faculty of Dental Surgery, as well as taking the accolade and pride in being the first winner to ever be named for the contest.

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.
