How to Staff a Hygiene Department

Maximise Efficiency and Productivity While Providing Great Patient Outcomes

  • How do you balance appointments with the dentists' own schedule?

There are many models available for scheduling, and Dr David Kerr will be sharing the different models available, and which model he's found most effective in his own practice in 20 years of working alongside hygienists.
