Why every dental nurse deserves a masterclass with Michael Bentley

Empowering dental nurses with skills, confidence and career direction

There truly is only one Michael Bentley and yesterday in Belfast, he delivered the first of our 7 Dental Nurse Masterclass workshops to members of The Extreme Business 100 community.

"Get your nurse team en masse to hear Michael Bentley empower and encourage our amazing nurses as only he can !! A fantastic day and join them so you know how to make a difference!! Thx @⁨Coach Barrow⁩ for this."

It amazes me that, with over 64,000 GDC registered dental nurses in the UK, the availability of world-class training is so limited.

Michael presented our Dental Receptionist Masterclass in Q1 of 2024 to rave reviews, and it was in response to the "when are you going to do something like this for dental nurses?" that we decided to bring him back and ask Michael to create a brand new workshop.

"Whole team buzzing after today in Belfast!"

His brief?

"This day is dedicated to mastering the art of dental nursing and exploring the opportunities

for expanding the skills within this role.

Dental nursing is the heart of the practice, encompassing seamless patient experiences while providing chair-side support to clinical team members. Michael aims to showcase the many aspects of dental nursing and work with participants to help them thrive in their careers.

Dental nurses must be excellent, multi-skilled clinical professionals, proactive, and

autonomous in their role within dental practices.

During this day, Michael will share his "lens on the ground" approach, offering systems and

strategies to help dental nurse teams perform at their best.

This fast-paced day will cover key areas for dental nurses to master...

Key Topics:

• Empowering the scope of practice for professional dental nurses

• Developing your career as a dental nurse

• Building exceptional relationships with patients

• Recognising the skills required to build professional chair-side relationships with

• clinicians

• Involving dental nurses in the examination process and utilising digital skills

Michael says,

"This day is designed for dental nurses but will also support leadership teams

in understanding how to nurture these important professionals. Dental nursing is a fast-

paced field that demands expertise, speed, passion for communication, and a proactive

mindset. I understand firsthand what it takes to succeed as a dental nurse and how

rewarding this role can be."

Why am I writing about this in my blog when it's a client-only event for The 100?

Because I suggested to Michael this morning that, when he has finished touring with me on 12th September in Edinburgh, he should take this show on the road.

That's not to grow my business - it's to grow his - but also because more dental nurses deserve to hear him.

Maybe you should email him now and tell him you want to buy tickets for your team when they become available.

I hope has some time available - I've not even asked his permission to post this!
