If you’re successful, we’ll make you a formal offer. At this point, your Clinical Resourcing Specialist will put you in touch with one of our Resourcing Support Advisors. They’ll collect all of your compliance details and arrange for you to attend an induction, where you’ll meet fellow clinicians, who are also new to mydentist. Inductions take place at the world-class mydentist Academy in Manchester. It covers CPR, compliance, PDP’s, best practice and how to get the most from working with us.
