Patient Plan Direct shares a testimonial to show how practices can make 2024 their best year yet and find a more rewarding path in dentistry.
As the new year begins, the constraints from NHS dentistry continue.
If you’re a dentist feeling the strain and are looking for a better work-life balance, amongst other things, a full or partial move to private dentistry may be the solution.
As Patient Plan Direct begins its 15th year of trading, the highly cost-effective plan provider is helping more and more practices make successful transitions with expert support by introducing dental membership plans.
The dental community is all too aware of the many challenges plaguing dental practices within the NHS system. This includes unrealistic UDA targets, continuous recruitment hurdles, mounting pressure, stress and exhaustion. All of which can often culminate in compromised patient care due to time constraints.
The NHS to private journey
Patient Plan Direct has a proven process for moving to private practice that more practices than ever before are following.
The journey begins with an exploratory meeting. Here, one of Patient Plan Direct’s transition specialists delves into understanding the unique dynamics of a practice. Financial projections are meticulously forecasted, charting the path to a successful conversion.
Should a practice decide to take the leap, Patient Plan Direct provides comprehensive support every step of the way. This includes calculating the number of patients needed to be retained to create an optimal plan base and practice-branded marketing tools. Also, effectively communicating changes to patients and conducting bespoke plan training for the practice team. The plan provider ensures a seamless and successful transition towards private dentistry.
A successful shift from NHS to private practice demands strategic planning, tailored support and a collaborative partnership. Patient Plan Direct’s commitment lies in empowering practices to navigate this transition with confidence and expertise. The plan proposition is driven in practice with the fully trained team. The result: a thriving private practice model.
