Social media is now woven into everyday life – whether we actively use it or are indirectly influenced by the way it shapes and shares ideas and information. Whatever the purpose, it is essential to recognise that there are clear expectations about how dentists should conduct themselves online as the use of social media presents significant professional risks that can lead to GDC Fitness to Practise (FtP) investigations, NHSE Professional Standards referrals and employment termination.

The purpose of this blog is to let you know what happens when a complaint is made about you or your practice and particularly if it is picked up by NHSE.
