Aims | What a delegate can hope to take from the workshop To understand the key marketing theories The basics of a marketing approach in dentistry are explained and how this might apply to all types of practice, regardless of location, patient base and size is justified. The applications of these marketing principles within a dental practice are discussed and evaluated. To be able to define the quality in the dental practice How to understand what patients perceive as quality is discussed, including how different patients within the same practice may have different expectations. Having evaluated the patient understanding of quality, assessing how well the practice is meeting those expectation is planned. Understanding how to improve customer care The focus of customer care is explained and the way that this can impact upon the delivery of quality is understood. The patient journey, from the first phone call through to post-treatment is evaluated and improvements considered to ensure satisfied patients.
