Scottish NHS Dentistry does sound marginally better all round than NHS Dentistry in the rest of the UK.
None of my final year students have aspirations in NHS Dentistry. Typically they'll say....it's only for a year. Sad really but I cannot blame them. They'll be paying back their University fees many...
True...things must be bad when dentists at the NHS enamel face inadvertently make the NHS sound better than it really is. It's like subconsciously trying to justify why you keep on sticking with it...
There’s no substitute for experience…we’ve seen it all.
Yeah, that’s what I said.
Tony-GB, have you ever considered this from the point of view of a cyclist? I don't know whether you ride a bike but I'm not exaggerating when I say that there are quite a lot of drivers who seem to...
Typical response from a cyclist hater
I 'hazarded a guess' & on the probabilities, even on this privileged forum it's likely to be true. It's difficult for you to argue with this Reggie.
I'm not a fan of the cyclist haters.
Amen brother....& they SO need it.
Such things are paid for out of income tax & I'll hazard a guess that I pay way more of that than you do...so maybe you should be paying more for using your car on roads which I ride my bike on &...
…& no more money if he does two
I do really enjoy my teaching job one day a week. It’s so rewarding, not in monetary terms as I’d earn at least 3 times the salary if I did that extra day in my practice, but in the terms of me...
Yep that is correct. I’d probably spend 2 hours on that job btw.
Quite a few NHS patients are exempt from charges so they pay nothing in these circumstances and the NHS pays the £300.
It’s all about the contract. See my builders thread https://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?536375-Builders-tell-me-about-it
I actually think that the government have engineered this to privatise...
Haha, oh no! In fact in my own case I have to pay back the NHS 20p because the patient pays £306.80 but I am ‘allowed to receive’ 12 UDA’s of value which, in my case, is 12 x £25.55 = £306.60
The...
Further to my last post, what the patient pays isn’t necessarily what the dentist gets paid….& when I say gets paid, they have to pay all of their staff wages, rent, heating, materials, laboratory...
That’s great value. If you’d had one crown done it would still have been £307 (£306.80 actually), three crowns would still be £306.80, six crowns, which does happen, would still be £306.80. £306.80...
There is no continuous registration. You sign the electronic FP17 & you are in a contract for that course of treatment. Once the course of treatment is completed we sign it off & there is no...
Call me pedantic but they can't have deregistered you because there's no such thing as being registered with an NHS Dentist. NHS Doctors yes.
Isn’t it just….It’s analogous to the NHS Dental Contract & is the reason dentists don’t want to take on news NHS patients.
I’m struggling to get a builder to agree to come & do some work for me.
I’ve phoned every builder in my area & none of them are prepared to take on the job.
The reason that I’m consistently...
I’ve ridden that many a time. I usually fit in the climb of Rosedale Chimney. I’m not sure my brakes are good enough to come down it.
Dropping down into Kirbymoorside next or are you heading...
I've got a very varied spread of funds. I just checked my portfolio analysis & about 7% is invested in UK company funds. That's enough for my taste in the current economic climate.
I have this from 1982 as well. 34mm which wears bigger because of the narrow bezel. I really like the matching champagne coloured date wheel.
