Dentsure Ltd has launched a new consultancy service, Valident, bringing peace of mind to practice principals responsible for publishing dental practice websites on the Internet. Registration with the GDC, CQC and the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) brings Internet regulatory compliance responsibilities associated with all of the regulated professions including dentistry.

Statutory Instruments concerning Electronic Communications and Commerce are the source of the regulations that apply to dentistry.

Dentsure Ltd is an Internet Service Provider and the Company CEO Dr Nigel Knott is an experienced dentist who has developed the Valident product. Any dental practice website displaying the Valident Accreditation Warranty indicates to patients and dental authorities alike that the website fulfils the necessary regulatory compliance requirements.

A very large number of dental practice websites fail the acid test and a Valident Consultancy Report (VCR) can be obtained that scrutinises website content and design together with a technical analysis for Search Engine effectiveness and Internet visibility.

The VCR comes free of charge with Dentsure's brand new Practice Genie website service.
