October 23, 2013 — A U.K. dentist who bilked the National Health Service (NHS) for more than 1.5 million pounds ($2.5 million) has been officially barred from practicing.
Joyce Trail has been suspended from practicing by the General Dental Council following an October 18 hearing of its Professional Conduct Committee. Unless Trail appeals the council’s order within 28 days, her name will be erased from the U.K. Register of dental professionals, according to the hearing report.
