Following on from another Consumer’s Association report. Dentistry is an easy target for any journalist that wants to have a go at a profession. Let’s face it, from Marathon Man through The Little Shop of Horrors via Lemming of the BDA and Robert Lindsay’s misanthropic, cynical and assistant sacking GDP Ben, dentists tend not toContinue reading ““Which” kicks (NHS) Dentists – so what’s new?…and what to do.”

‘NHS dentists’ not offering NHS appointments – says Which Magazine
Following their report into Dental prices and the ensuing campaign Which magazine has done more research into availability of NHS dentistry. I feel it’s about time that everyone involved with NHS dentistry embraced (to use the buzzword) candour. A whole dose of honesty is needed all round, from government through the profession everyone must beContinue reading “‘NHS dentists’ not offering NHS appointments – says Which Magazine”
The Weekend Read – The Second Curve by Charles Handy
I have been a fan of Charles Handy since I read “The Age of Unreason” in 1992 and his “Understanding Organisations” was one of the set texts on my MBA course at the Open University in 1994. He has a real grasp of the human condition, a rare intelligence and the ability to explain hisContinue reading “The Weekend Read – The Second Curve by Charles Handy”
The Monday Morning Quote #320
The companies that survive longest are the one’s that work out what they uniquely can give to the world not just growth or money but their excellence, their respect for others, or their ability to make people happy. Some call those things a soul. Charles Handy

David Starkey’s diary: Why don’t we celebrate the triumphs of private dentistry?
From The Spectator To the dentist. And for an extraction. I hadn’t had a tooth out in decades. But the twinges when I bit on a nut warned me that my problem molar — much abused by a badly fitted bridge in the 1970s — had finally given way. My usual dentist confirmed as muchContinue reading “David Starkey’s diary: Why don’t we celebrate the triumphs of private dentistry?”
“No point hiring image consultants if your own receptionist is letting you down” says David Hepworth.
I admire David Hepworth as a writer and commentator, I still miss The Word which he and Mark Ellen ran for nearly a decade. I never thought that I would share one of his blog postings on this site but he nails it, as does Lucy Kellaway in her FT piece (sadly behind a paywall).Continue reading ““No point hiring image consultants if your own receptionist is letting you down” says David Hepworth.”
Leading by Instinct – Kathy Kolbe spells it out.
This posting is from Kathy Kolbe’s blog dated October 6th 2014 – for some reason I missed out on it first time round. One of the things that I explain to people about Kolbe is that there is no right or wrong. I was recently dismayed to read a posting from another dental coach, whoContinue reading “Leading by Instinct – Kathy Kolbe spells it out.”
Indemnity Fees – Where Is The Ceiling?
I have a client who has been qualified as a dentist for 30 years. He is skilled, dedicated, talented and knowledgeable. I would happily be his patient if the need arose. He accepts referrals from other practitioners for endodontics, implants and tricky restorative cases. He has recently completed an M.Sc. in Endodontics and is currentlyContinue reading “Indemnity Fees – Where Is The Ceiling?”
DLD15 – The Four Horsemen: Amazon/Apple/Facebook & Google–Who Wins/Loses (Scott Galloway)
If you have even a passing interest in future trends in media, retail and more, watch this video – and then watch it again. Scott Galloway is a star if only for the fact that he admits to getting things wrong.
