Dentists’ Provident launch new dental student plan.

 
The new academic year saw the market leading income protection specialist Dentists’ Provident launch a new and unique plan for dental students.
 
This plan will pay a dental student a one off sum of £45,000 if they suffer an accident or long term illness which prevents them from finishing their degree and working as a dentist. No other product supports dental students in this way.
 
Farrukh Mirza, CEO of Dentists’ Provident said “We are delighted to be able to offer such a valuable and unique proposition.  For just £60 a year students, and their parents, can have the peace of mind that they have taken a positive measure to protect the substantial financial investment needed to study dentistry.”
 
With tuition fees at £9,000 a year, and the cost of living increasing, it is no surprise that over 80% of students who answered a survey last year, said they would be willing to pay for some form of insurance to cover the risk of an accident or injury, which would prevent them from finishing their degree.
 
Professor Mark Woolford - Associate Dean (Education), King's College London Dental Institute said “When you are young, you never think about protecting yourself, but you never know what may happen. We had a dental student in their final year who was hit by a car on a night out. They had such severe head injuries that they could no longer train as a dentist. We awarded them an exit degree but, because of their disabilities, they could never work as a healthcare worker.”

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.
