The aim remains as "excellence in dentistry", the tricky part of the process is creating the right environment. Genus Interiors have done a fantastic job with the plans and have really managed to interpret my vision for the practice. The next stage is to translate a vision and the plans into reality.

First Steps
It has finally happened; at long last I have signed the lease for the property in Leamington. Unfortunately, this isn't quite the finally hurdle and I gather there yet more legal hoops before I get to complete, but we have made significant progress. We now move on to the exciting part and I get to design my perfect practice.

I am fast approaching my final week working for James Hull Associates in Birmingham; it has been an enjoyable 4 years and I have had the privilege of working with an excellent team. I have been able to continue to develop my skills in cosmetic and implant dentistry and I have undertaken some remarkable cases, restoring their smiles and providing them with life-changing self-confidence.
I now have some draft plans for Augusta Place and I am getting down to the sort of detail that will ensure the practice looks and works exactly how I want it to. This has involved browsing through a lot of equipment catalogues, but also a visit to the Ultradent factory in Munich. However, most importantly I have packed my bags and loaded the car ready to take the children camping for a long weekend in Woolacombe.

Holiday Time
We have just returned from a most marvellous break in the Outer Hebrides; you don't usually go to the Western Isles for the weather, but it was good enough to allow the children to play on the beach on most days. Life in the Hebrides was quite a contrast from the commute into London or Birmingham and I thoroughly enjoyed the quiet pace of life; rarely have I felt so relaxed on holiday. However, the 8 hour wait at Glasgow Airport on the journey home got me back into the swing of things.

Initial Thoughts
One of the problems with working as an associate for someone else is that things don't always get done the way I want them to be done. I firmly believe in excellence in dentistry, using the best techniques and the best materials to achieve high quality dental care. However, a practice must never lose sight of meeting the patient's expectations and delivering top-notch customer service. I think the only way to meet the high standards I want to achieve, is to run my own practice.
It has taken 2 years of research and looking, but I finally think I have found a fantastic property for the new practice in Leamington Spa. I am in the final stages of negotiation over the lease , and I am in the equally exciting and terrifying process of design and planning. Just how do I want the practice to look?
