Staff Meeting Summary 01/04/2026

- Estimates- We have had a couple of occasions when estimates have been missed recently- on one MC had to apply a 10% discount as a gesture of goodwill. There are 3 opportunities to catch these 1) at the time of the appointment, 2) at the end of session when completing the log (please check all estimates sent as per the log) 3) when we do the ‘day before’ reminder to check had estimate and happy with it.

We use the estimate/treatment plan as a form of consent, so apart from unhappy patients regarding the money- it is really important they don’t get missed or sent before they are ready.

Reception, please be patient waiting for the estimate/treatment plan to come through from the surgery. We decided today the surgery would charge the appt through but ‘leave the patient in the chair’ on Exact whilst they complete their notes.…
