Where to?
CORONA-19 Pandemic has temporarily put a set back in our expansion plans. However, we have two new businesses that are in the process of going live in 2021.
One is purely IT based - apps and software designed specifically for the dental industry to assist with compliance and management of infection control - watch this space! This will be free to all dental practices globally as we believe this will be a public/professional service and the other?
Disability Advocacy based business - again, watch this space!
