Watch this on-demand webinar with Zoe Close, Richard Ollive and Chris Groombridge as they offer advice to those considering a life in practice less reliant on an NHS contract.
About the webinar:
In this lively discussion, Practice Plan’s Head of Sales, Zoe Close, caught up with Wesleyan dental financial expert, Richard Ollive, and Joint Managing Director of 543 Dental Centre in Hull, Chris Groombridge, to deliver an engaging webinar on how to reduce your reliance on your NHS contract through the introduction of private dentistry and how this doesn’t necessarily mean all or nothing in terms of giving back your entire contract.
You may be one of many dental professionals considering a full or partial move from NHS to Private Dentistry, but the thought of handing back all or part of your contract is understandably a daunting prospect.
This webinar explored some of the most common questions we hear from people as they embark on their journey towards private practice and talks about the options available to those considering this move. We answered many questions, including:
- I’m not sure I’m ready to give back my entire contract – is there a way around this?
- Will the Integrated Care Board make things difficult for me?
- I’m wrestling with my conscience and the guilt of not working in the NHS – do you have any advice?
- Is there a way to still treat those most in need?
- I’m worried about the income gap whilst I convert from NHS to Private dentistry – is this worry unfounded?
- What will happen to my NHS pension and basket of benefits if I leave the NHS and is there a way to replace these?
Zoe, Richard and Chris explored each of these points in detail, offering lived through advice to those considering a life in practice less reliant on an NHS contract.
Please note, this webinar was recorded live on Tuesday 5th March 2024.
