Is CSR compulsory?

Not yet, but the government has a clear sustainability agenda and these targets are starting to trickle down into dentistry. Already the Care Quality Commission (CQC) have two or three questions which they ask practices around their CSR. It is light touch at present but it’s not hard to envisage how this might become a requirement in the future.

In this webinar, our digital partner, Xcelerator Dental, will give you some takeaways to boost your SEO (search engine optimisation) performance.

Overview

  • 90% of practices are not doing any of the key things they should to ensure they are positioned as the practice of choice in their area. We'll cover all of this and give you the tools you need to get more patients through Google.
  • The search landscape changes rapidly and if you aren’t keeping up-to-date, you will be missing out on cost-effective growth. In December 2021, Google made the largest update to how they rank dental practices, in 5 years. Did you adapt your strategy accordingly?
  • 60% of prospective dental patients searching on Google won't leave the search results page; we'll show you what you need to be doing to make sure they choose you.
  • Most practices focus on ‘being Number One in Google’ - this isn’t going to get you efficient returns

 

David will show you:

  • How to adopt a Local Business approach to your SEO
  • How to get free advertising for your dental practice on Google
  • A work plan to get more new patient leads for your practice through your Google Business Profile
  • How you will get more leads than your competitors even if you’re not number one
  • How to measure if what you are doing is working

Over the last few years we have seen an influx of new providers to the dental indemnity market and a wide range of products which has coincided with profound changes in the way dentists buy indemnity cover with more dentists than ever moving away from the traditional defence bodies. We are seeing conflicting information circulating around what covers are best as well as a wide range of differences between providers’ offerings and also their capabilities to deliver the highest standards of support and cover to dental professionals.

 

Following this webinar you should be able to make better informed decisions around what cover best suits your needs. You will also become more familiar with some of the terminology used which will help identify potential red-flags and areas to challenge with your indemnity provider. The ultimate goal is to ensure that all dentists can practise with confidence knowing that you have the highest standards of cover and support in place, so that a more effective defence can be provided or patients who have a genuine claim can be properly compensated.

Imagine if you had a simple system that gave you a steady stream of new patients, recommendations, reviews and referrals. What would this mean to your practice and your profits ?

How good are you at asking for referrals, recommendations and reviews? Imagine if you could create a never ending, cost free supply of perfect, pre-qualified new patients: Zero marketing spend, Easy & Effortless - What would that be worth to you?

If you were constantly receiving 5 star google reviews that gave the readers a true sense of what you are about and influenced them to choose you as their practice - What would it mean to you?

Synopsis
The CSR Advantage addresses your business’ next big challenge and how to turn it to an opportunity.

You can't ignore the fact that society is becoming more critical of businesses that fail to 'act responsibly’.
Patients and staff are looking at you for the hallmarks of a trustworthy business - positive work culture, environmental responsibility and a role in the community and with charities.

Whether you consider yourself ‘charitable’ or not, you cannot argue with the numbers - 88% of consumers now expect social and environmental responsibility as an integral part of every business - no matter how big or small.

This webinar will explain how CSR helps us create a responsible, purpose driven business where people love to come to work, and patients love to attend. CSR is all about taking a structured, intentional approach in a carefully planned way, so that the business cares for its people, the environment and the community. It creates a deep satisfaction that comes from knowing that you are part of something which does the right thing - every single day.

Mark Topley will explain how, as well as showing you the simple, practical steps you can take, no matter your starting point.

Aims
To give attendees a grasp of the fundamentals of CSR and inspire them to take action and take a structured approach to caring for their people, their environment and their community.

Learning objectives
During the presentation, attendees will learn:

  • What CSR is, and the five areas of impact - People, Charity, Community, Environment, Communications
  • Why CSR is important for patients and potential patients looking for a dentist they can trust
  • Why it’s important for attracting and retaining high quality, purpose driven people, especially those under 35
  • How to cover all the areas of CSR without having to become an expert in a quick, simple and effective way that takes the thinking off your desk


GDC learning outcomes (A,B,C,D)
The presentation links closely to the 'well led’ Key Lines Of Enquiry for CQC - setting culture, strong leadership, an engaged team etc. For ECPD, it sits firmly in Development Outcome B.

It’s amazing to consider that a significant business investment, such as a new building, equipment or technology, would never be made without a business case setting out how it will be utilised and a return on investment realised. 

So why is it, that given the investment Practices make in their people (salary, pension, benefits, training etc.) many don’t have a clear people plan; one that will align their activities with business success. Simon Sinek famously wrote in his book on inspirational leadership “If you hire people just because they can do a job they will work for your money; but if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you, with blood sweat and tears.”

This embodies the true value of HR and this webinar will explore how the right HR support and advice can add value to your Practice, from ensuring that you comply with all your legal obligations as an employer, through to understanding you and your business, not only now but for the future.  The ‘human’ aspect of HR is too often missed - join this webinar to find out how to put your people at the heart of your success.

 

The webinar will cover the following:

  • Dispelling some common HR myths
  • What does HR actually do
  • The real cost of doing HR yourself
  • Current HR issues and challenges
  • Some things to consider

In this webinar, Rebecca Waters from Initial Medical, reiterates proper waste management practice protocols in dental practices by talking through waste colour coding, proper waste segregation and how to follow the Department of Health’s colour code for best practice waste disposal.

There are slides dedicated to each colour in the colour code, identifying which items typically fall under each category, why this is the case, and how these types of wastes should be disposed of to ensure that everybody is on the same page when it comes to waste disposal and can correctly identify which waste stream belongs where.

Finally, the webinar explores how managing your waste this way will help professionals to save money and streamline the waste management process.

Overview

The team's roles in practice have changed a great deal in the last few years.

With the emergence of new technology and a great emphasis on incoming leads via online enquires traditional tasks have now been shared across the team members in the practice.

The role of the traditional receptionist has changed somewhat. 

Even the role of the Treatment Coordinator is multi-faceted with many TCOs working in advanced ways, using their dental nurse skills to support the patients and dentists.

In this webinar, Laura Horton will discuss how the roles of the front of house and the treatment coordinator can now cross over and interlock to support the conversion of patients through online enquires and retention of patients

 

Laura will share with you her top tips for:

  • Handling and converting online enquires 
  • Retaining patients through practice membership plans once they have attended an appointment in the practice
