The expertise of dental business mentor Andy McDougall from Spot On Business Planning has been called on to help launch a series of dental webinars kicking off in August. After UNW – a leading independent firm of chartered accountants – hosted two successful dentally-orientated webinars, it decided to launch a new series of free monthly webinars, the first of which will run from 7pm until 8pm on Tuesday 11th August.
The webinars will be focused on providing dentists with well-rounded insight, covering everything from financials, legal, practice sales and valuation news.The format will be brief update presentations by a panel of experts including an accountant, lawyer, banker and sales agent/valuer, and from time to time another guest, followed by interactive questions from the virtual audience of dentists, and answers from the panel.
Joining Andy in the Dental Business Unit team for the launch webinar are:
- John Grant, Director of Goodman Grant
- Malcolm Swan, Senior Healthcare Banking Consultant at Lloyds Bank
- Andy Acton, Director of Frank Taylor & Associates
Future sessions will also include Louise Fegan, Partner at Morrisons Solicitors; Michael Oliver, Business Manager at Barclays Bank; Paul Graham and Chris Vowles, Head of Dental and Head of Medical Valuation at Christie & Co.; Lis Hughes, Managing Director of Frank Taylor & Associates; David McEwan, Corporate Lawyer of Schofield Sweeney; and John Clarke, Head of Healthcare at Wesleyan Bank. The webinar will also have dentist Nigel Suggett as a panellist – just in case the professionals need a real-world reality check!
