#45 - UDC, AGPs and LDCs with Jimmy Palahey

This week, dentist Jimmy Palahey takes time out from his busy chain of Midlands practices to talk about the current state of play in COVID-era dentistry.

 

He shares some of his experiences as urgent dental care (UDC) provider throughout the worst days of the crisis and lets us in on how his mixed practice is balancing UDC with the demands of general post-lockdown operations.

 

Jimmy also lets us in on his thoughts about what’s next for the profession.

 

Enjoy!

 

“We're a pretty adaptable profession. And I think that we can adapt to whatever that gets thrown out...I think you just got to adapt to what's there.”
