For UK private dental practices

Dental nurse and staff turnover is a persistent problem, and it's more expensive than you think

The recruitment cost of a dental nurse, including advertising, agency fees, and lost productivity during the vacancy, runs into thousands. For practices with two or three leavers per year, that's a significant annual cost.

From Paul

Tell me where that £161,280 is coming from, and I'll come back with the three things to fix first.

A few quick questions, about two minutes, and no typing. I read every one myself and reply with the three things costing you most and where I'd start. If it's useful, we talk. If not, you've still got a clear picture.

No obligation, no sales call unless you ask for one, and nothing automated lands in your inbox.

Paul, Solvable

I reply personally, usually the same day.
