I was grateful to have the DDU’s assistance during a PCT investigation into a patient’s complaint and delighted to be cleared. However, no sooner had I breathed a sigh of relief than I was devastated to receive a negligence claim from the same patient’s solicitor. It really shook me to read the allegations being made and in those circumstances it is easy to start questioning oneself. The DDU in-house solicitor and claims handler were totally professional and thorough in their response and listened to my side of the story.” General dental practitioner

In 2009, I received a letter from the GDC notifying me that it had received a complaint about my practice and I was being referred to an Investigating Committee. In retrospect, I was probably quite naïve because I thought the matter would go no further as I had done nothing wrong. However, I’m so glad I contacted the DDU because my case eventually went to a gruelling 32-day panel hearing and I have my DDU legal team to thank for the fact that I was completely exonerated.” General dental practitioner
