  • Great podcast, poor sound quality

    Lots of super hints and tips for running a practice but the sound quality is poor. Feels like you are in a cold empty room with the interview!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NHS dentistry, access & the future of the profession with Shiv Pabary
Q: What might a future NHS contract look like and how would it address prevention and complex care?
He suggests a blended, capitation-based contract that pays for prevention and accounts for the complexity of care, with activity-based payments adjusted to reflect true costs and a stronger focus on health outcomes.
NHS dentistry, access & the future of the profession with Shiv Pabary
Q: What's the current state of NHS dentistry in terms of access and funding?
Shiv explains that access is severely constrained nationwide, worsened by the pandemic, with many areas effectively becoming dental deserts; funding has not kept pace and workforce limitations complicate the ability to meet demand.
What if I want to change how I pay my associate with Donna Hall
Q: What are the practical steps to implement a change in associate pay?
First map current payments, identify hygiene deductions, and assess if backcharging is needed. Use templates and calculators provided by the regional support team, communicate with associates, adjust contracts, and plan a phased transition with consideration of notice periods and holidays.
What if I want to change how I pay my associate with Donna Hall
Q: What is the middle-ground pay model and how is it calculated?
The middle-ground model pays for the examination portion of plans (e.g., two check-ups per year) as a monthly amount derived from the per-exam value, then applies a straightforward calculation to each plan to determine the monthly pay, keeping hygiene revenue with the owner and preserving monthly cash flow for the associate.
What if I want to change how I pay my associate with Donna Hall
Q: What are the main pay options for associates in private practice?
Donna outlines traditional percentage-based pay, fee-per-item models as the extremes, and a middle-ground approach tied to examination-based payments to keep monthly income while avoiding overpaying for hygiene that may not occur.
