DPO Solution for Dentists
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the definition of a ‘public body’ under the Data Protection Act 2018 requires dental practices who carry out NHS work to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO).
This legal obligation presents an enormous challenge for small health practices because at first glance it can seem impossible to meet the requirements. The BDA’s attempts to lobby government to overturn this were unsuccessful.
VaultConnect have applied their process and compliance expertise with a simple technology solution that is designed to fulfil the needs of small health practices who offer NHS dental treatment.
We have also teamed up with RightPath4 to help us better understand the needs of the independent dental practice – and in return for their help and assistance we are delighted to be able to offer discounted support services to RightPath4 clients.
DPO Support Service
Our DPO Support Service provides reassurance to staff appointed to the role of DPO within independent Dental Practices.
The service ensures they are supported in their role and that the practice remains compliant.
The VaultConnect approach rapidly establishes:
- A robust Record of Processing Activities (GDPR Article 30) – which becomes a living and breathing document
- A comprehensive view of Risks, existing Controls, Gaps and requirement for action
- Ownership and engagement – making compliance part of everyday culture rather than a box-ticking exercise
Each practice is provided with their own ComplianceVault which allows them to manage their GDPR Documentation and follow our simple 9-steps to compliance process.
Getting started and becoming fully compliant couldn’t be simpler:
- Buy your plan at GoCardless (use the links in the table on this page selecting monthly or annual payment) and register your practice
- We’ll set up your ComplianceVault and arrange a time and date for a 1-2-1 call to get you started
- In the 1-2-1 call we’ll make sure you know where everything is and how the ComplianceVault, video training and instruction manuals work
- Follow the training and fill out your ComplianceVault
- Keep up to date with regular webinars
RightPath4 customers receive a 40% discount.

Data Protection Officer for Dental Practices – GDPR Compliance without the pain and cost
The scheme delivers expert DPO support at a fraction of the cost of training or appointing an outsourced DPO through a consultancy.

The scheme also ensures that the requirement for “Proven ‘expert knowledge’ of data protection law and practices” is met whilst ensuring no “conflict of interests” (i.e. with a role that determines the purposes and the means of the processing of personal data).
By providing a scheme focused purely on the needs of General Dental Practitioners providing NHS treatment we can also keep members abreast of relevant developments in the data privacy landscape.
