    This action is unacceptable. Does this mean GDp's can select which bits of the SDR we would like to abide by?!

    We as dentists were doing all what we can since studying days , through training life and after graduation to keep the NHS standing upright but now we feel that there is no support to our career.
    We have the fear of unknown future and what other aspects that the NHS will withdraw its support from

    I would be grateful if the CPDA costs are reinstated as this pays in part to some of the expensive good hands on course that we have to undertake to upskill ourselves.
