History

Doctor Jurowski whilst working full time as a principle dentist at his practice on Gosforth high street, Newcastle upon Tyne continued to develop his first version of the SFD Dental software. During the early days of the system, SFDv1 was little more than a patient database. The real breakthough came when Doctor Jurowski's wife visited him at his practice. During this visit May witnessed a member of the reception team completing an NHS form (FP17), after seeing this she commented to Doctor Jurowski "if your so clever the computer should be doing that!".

Following this challange, SFD became the 1st software to overprint the NHS FP17. The Probe Magazine picked up this story and published an article about the company in 1989.

Doctor Jurowski handed over control of the company to his son Ryszard Jurowski Jnr in 1992. Having recently left Newcastle University Ryszard quickly proved his programming skills far surpassed those of his father. Ryszard Jurowski Jnr remains the managing director todate (December 2012).
