SCOTLAND: The Dental Prescribing smartphone app was introduced in 2012 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 Therefore, the Dental Prescribing app has been withdrawn and replaced with a mobile-enabled website, developed with NHS Education for Scotland Technology Service.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 both mobile devices and desktop computers. Accessing content requires an internet connection and, as the content is based on the British National Formulary (BNF), is restricted to users in the UK.
All Dental Prescribing app users should now use the new Drug Prescribing for Dentistry website: https://www.sdcepdentalprescribing.nhs.scot/. The app is no longer supported or updated and should be deleted from all devices.
