The 1st March launch of the new web site and our corporate launch at The Dentistry Show are now over – it’s down to business. A number of people at The Show and via social media are asking: “just exactly what are BKH doing? Are you buying practices?” So, to set the record straight, let me tell you exactly what we are about. Dentistry
we intend to open our own private squat practices
in carefully selected locations
with specific demographic groups in mind
in a “hub and spoke” configuration with general practices feeding centres of excellence
we intend to PARTNER with others who want to open their own private squat practices
to provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with people (us!) who have an existing track record of success in dentistry
to support their requirement for seed capital
to support their requirement for working capital
to help them identify suitable locations
to assist in branding, marketing and launch
to provide ongoing management and training services
to take a long-term equity stake in their business
we intend to PARTNER with existing private practice owners who want to re-brand, refurbish and expand
to support them in all respects as above
In essence we are interested in PARTNERSHIP not PURCHASE. We want to work with those who wish to “get in” to dental business and not those who want to “get out”. We want to hear from clinicians and team members who are looking for careers with a corporate whose culture is clearly stated. Education
we intend to build a post-graduate clinical academy in Manchester
we intend to build a business skills academy in Manchester
we intend to create a full programme of in-house courses
we intend to PARTNER with other recognised course providers
we intend to manage our own internal brand standards via accreditation with all sections of the academy
we intend to create career pathways and skill enhancement for all of our team members
we intend to make these courses available to those outside of BKH
Management
to provide a full range of business and clinical consultancy services to continue and implement the work done in the academy
available to our own practices and partner practices
available to others outside of BKH
In addition, we will look at any other PARTNERSHIP in UK dentistry where we can provide the seed capital, working capital and management expertise to help launch a new business or grow/turnaround an existing business. That’s about as clear as I can be – I hope it helps.
