Ian Aguado-Bush, sales and marketing director at Milkshake Dental was first to address the attendees at Henry Schein Dental’s London Headquarters. He was there to talk about the importance of social media to the dental industry as it has the potential to spread viral content for free.
Founders Amit Patel and Dev Patel continued with a shared presentation, both had a vision to help connect all dental professionals to help one another build long standing business relationships and friendships whilst allowing members to showcase their educational and clinical achievements.
The site is predominantly aimed at those who are fresh out of University and looking to up their game a little more as dentistry is renowned for having a tough and competitive market base.
Dental Circle is a place where dentists, therapists, hygienists, laboratory technicians and nurses can all connect, communicate and profile themselves on one, modern, user-friendly website. The advent of direct access means there is no longer an imaginary communication void between all the members of a dental team. Now, it is more important than ever for all dental professionals to work together and help each other to improve the standards of dentistry in the UK.
Dental circle focuses upon profiling each dental professional to provide a clean profile page for each user. Each users profile page will formulate up to - date curriculum vitae and will showcase their academic and clinical achievements. The clinical portfolio will not only encourage users to take more photographs but will also provide an invaluable way to reflect on their clinical work.
Special interests will be developed for each user through the use of specific groups, which will be mentored by the UK’s most highly respected dental professionals. Cases will be presented in a ‘before’ and ‘after’ format and the mentors will provide advice on how the result can be improved or what further learning may be required to achieve optimal results next time.
The events calendar is another unique feature of the site; with all quality dental courses and events listed on one easy-to-use calendar.
Finally, the site will provide an easy-to-use CPD log, which will also add to your curriculum vitae and will be in line with GDC regulations.
