SDCEP is now providing a new Drug Prescribing for Dentistry mobile-enabled website (URL: www.sdcepdentalprescribing.nhs.scot). The new website should be used instead of the Dental Prescribing app, which is being withdrawn from the app stores and should be deleted from all devices. You can create a button on your mobile device home screen to provide quick access to the new website.
Background:
In 2012, SDCEP launched the Dental Prescribing smartphone app as a handy way of accessing information within the SDCEP Drug Prescribing for Dentistry guidance.
With developments in technology and a significant evolution in the ways that users access digital information, the app has now reached the end of its useful life. Therefore, we are withdrawing the app and replaced it with a mobile-enabled website, which we have developed with NES Technology Service.
The new website provides the same content as the app with similar functionality and has the advantage that it can be viewed on mobile devices and desktop computers. Accessing content requires an internet connection and, as the content of is based on the BNF and BNFC, is restricted to users in the UK .
All Dental Prescribing app users should now use the new Drug Prescribing for Dentistry website. The app is no longer supported or updated and should be deleted from all devices.
