NHS to private conversion: how to overcome the barriers

Practice Plan explores some of the key barriers that dentists perceive before converting from NHS to private and why they might not be such a concern after all.

Are you a dentist considering a move away from the NHS to private practice but feeling held back by doubts? You’re not alone, and Practice Plan here to help. In this video, Practice Plan breaks down the barriers that may have once seemed insurmountable.

Watch as the myths and misconceptions surrounding the transition to private dentistry are broken down. Many dentists worry they’ll lose a significant number of patients, face backlash from local media, or encounter resistance from their team. Others are concerned about potential complications with their health board or grapple with feelings of guilt about leaving NHS dentistry behind. And let’s not forget the nagging self-doubt about whether they have what it takes to thrive in a private setting.

The good news is that these barriers have largely diminished. With the right strategies and support in place, you can be reassured and embark on a fulfilling and less stressful dental career.
