John Makin
Dento-legal Adviser, DDU
Although we share the same undergraduate qualification we all have different skills, interests, experiences and expectations. There is no one career path that is ideal for everyone and choosing the wrong path may, in time, lead to dissatisfaction and disillusionment.
So what factors should influence your choice? This presentation will consider how an appreciation of your own learning style, personality type and the management of your expectations can help towards a happier, less stressful and successful career.
Delegates will get a better understanding of • How your behaviour can impact on complaints/
patients/team-working
• How to manage patient expectations – and your own!

This talk will cover general trends in practice indicating what patients will want to have from dentists outside the government’s designed system of care. It will show how those demands from patients are translating into products and services that can be provided outside of a cash rationed service, by involving the patient in the diagnosis through to offering state of the art dentistry.
• what is private dentistry
• why patients are seeking personalised dental care • what private dentistry means in terms of services
and technology
• how to consider going straight into private dental services

Why I am involved with the BDA
1. Networking: I meet likeminded people at regional branch events, where I can share my experiences and learn from others. Lots of friends have found jobs by networking and it’s a really rewarding thing to make time for.
2. Lobbying: the BDA represents us in discussions with government. The more of us who are members, the stronger our voice is.
3. CPD: the CPD Hub makes it easy to track and record my learning. I also get 60 hours with the BDJ and
BDJ In Practice per year.
4. Kudos: I think there’s some kudos to being a member; it looks good on my CV and LinkedIn profile, but it also shows prospective employers that I’m proud of my profession.
5. News and information: it’s easy to stay up-to-date with dental news and information. I get emails whenever there’s breaking news. The first people I hear from are those representing me at the BDA.
