Accreditation for course in dental practice management
16th Apr 2010
Sim Goldblum
The Partners at The Dentistry Business were celebrating earlier this month, when six months of hard work resulted in their Level 4 and Level 7 Courses in Dental Practice Management gaining accreditation from the University of Chester.
The Postgraduate Certificate has also been accredited by The Faculty of General Dental Practitioners.
With limited university-accredited training available in dental practice management, these courses, which will be offered nationally, provide an opportunity to gain formal recognition through a Professional or Postgraduate Certificate – a move that has been welcomed by the profession.
The Professional Certificate, scheduled to start in May 2010, is designed for dental practice staff who are either already practice managers or who aspire to such a position.
It will provide the theoretical and practical tools required to support a practice owner, in the operation of a single or multi-site practice and provide an in-depth understanding of the mechanics of running a business and the techniques required to address the many problems that occur at both strategic and tactical levels.
The course comprises three modules which will run over 10 full-day sessions.
A successful pass will attract 60 credits that are transferable to any university or college for future studies, if desired.
Module 1 - Planning and controlling a dental practice
Module 2 - Managing people and developing teamwork in dental practice
Module 3 - Creating a service-led dental practice
The Postgraduate course will be available from October 2010.
Sim Goldblum, partner in The Dentistry Business was delighted at the positive outcome.
He said: 'The accreditation from Chester University gives practice managers the opportunity to gain formal recognition of their role in running efficient and effective dental practices.
'We will use a proven combination of exercises, case studies and direct experience, to let participants exchange knowledge and share in each other's success, with the ultimate outcome being a professional certificate in dental practice management.
'Dentists who want to include an in-depth re-think of their business will welcome the benefits of including the Postgraduate Certificate as part of their FGDP Pathway.'
