Overview

Optimise Your Patient Experience

82% of patients regard patient experience more important than price!

In today’s competitive dental industry, delivering an exceptional patient experience is key to boosting revenue and standing out. Our Certificate in Dental Patient Experience course, created in partnership with leading customer experience experts and backed by comprehensive research including surveys and interviews with hundreds of practice principals and managers, equips you with exclusive strategies and tools to elevate your practice.

Focus on every patient interaction, from the initial contact to follow-up care, to ensure a superior experience that enhances patient retention, loyalty, recommendations, and ultimately, revenue. Remember, acquiring new patients is seven times more expensive than retaining existing ones. By maintaining positive touchpoints throughout the patient journey, you significantly increase the likelihood of patients staying with your practice rather than moving to a competitor, and just as importantly, ensure they have a positive experience.
