Josie Hutchings, regional support manager (RSM) at Practice Plan, discusses why it is so important to involve your team when you move from the NHS to private practice.
Successfully implementing any kind of change in a business requires the whole team to buy into what you’re doing and get behind it.
Moving your practice from being NHS to fully private or mixed is a big change that will significantly affect the way you deliver dentistry.
It will alter the way your team works and they will be at the forefront of communicating that change to patients, particularly your front of house team.
Which means it’s vital that they are on board with what you’re doing, understand the reasons behind it and why it’s beneficial for both the practice, the patients and themselves.
In this video, Josie Hutchings, regional support manager (RSM) at Practice Plan, explains why it’s vital to involve your team in the process from the very start.
