Managing a dental practice has become increasingly complex in recent
years, after changes within both the National Health Service and the
private sector. Modern dental practice requires that dentists meet
demanding business and management challenges as well as employing their
clinical expertise. However, most dentists receive little or no formal
training in practice management. In this book established management
principles are applied specifically to dentistry. It shows how to best
serve the interests of patients by effective management of staff,
finances, premises and resources. It assumes no prior knowledge, is
concise and offers clear, practical advice. It is the definitive guide
for dentists, vocational trainees, dental students, practice managers
and administrators, and a useful reference for those undertaking the
DGDP and MGDS examinations.
