Dancing dentists raise vital funds for the BDA Benevolent Fund
Eighty dentists and their partners took to the dance floor and raised £2,485 for the BDA Benevolent Fund to help their colleagues who have fallen on financial hardship.
As part of the Fund’s Be Active Campaign, a dinner dance was held at the Cardiff Village Hotel in April. It was organised by Dr Ann Rockey, Chairman of the Fund, and Dr Pam Norman, South Wales Trustee for the Board of Trustees of the Fund.
Dr Ann Rockey says, “Pam and I wanted to undertake an event for the Be Active Campaign in South Wales that would bring the branch together, as well as fundraise. Our colleague Andrew Matthews royally entertained us with an array of songs from the 40s and 50s. We had a very successful and enjoyable evening at the dinner dance. We are very grateful to all the companies and individuals that kindly sponsored the event.”
The Fund brings hope to dentists who are struggling financially by providing one-off or regular loans and grants.
The registered charity relies on donations to carry on with the vital work it does and relies on the Profession’s help.

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.
