When a placed dentist is temporarily out, the practice still has patients booked and NHS activity to deliver. Locum Protection provides cover so that continuity holds.
Without cover, a fortnight off can mean cancelled appointments, lost NHS delivery and frustrated patients. With it, the practice barely feels the absence.
Every dentist needs time off. Locum Protection means the practice does not pay for it in cancelled appointments and lost revenue.
When continuity is at risk, ad hoc locums are expensive and temporary. Built-in continuity support protects:
Flag the continuity gap and agree the approach.
Supports continuity planning and temporary cover options where appropriate, with any funded cover agreed in the commercial terms.
Temporary absences of a placed dentist, so the practice keeps running while they are out. It covers both planned leave and unplanned absence.
From the same pipeline of activated dentists that Dentello places from, rather than a last minute search on the open locum market.
Where activity targets apply, cover is designed to help keep delivery on track so an absence does not cost the practice unmet activity.
It is part of how Dentello stands behind a placement. Talk to us about how it applies to your arrangement.
