Project Management

 

With a rich background in dentistry and a family legacy to carry forward, I embarked on a journey of personal and professional growth by moving from Norway to the UK. My fiancé and I envisioned establishing a thriving dental business in the UK, expanding our successful family-run Norwegian dental practices to this new market. Amidst careful considerations and a stroke of fate, we found the perfect location for our dental practice – a former charity shop.

A Strategic Partnership with Uv at Divo Interiors and Hague Dental

Our transition to the UK dental market would not have been as smooth without the professional collaboration between Uv at Divo Interiors and Hague Dental. Uv, a reputable dental surgery and refurbishment specialist played a pivotal role in bringing us together with James Fletcher, a highly knowledgeable project manager at Hague Dental. Their combined expertise provided us with invaluable guidance and support, making the entire process easy and enjoyable.

Navigating Differences: Adapting to UK Regulations

Coming from Norway, the UK’s dental regulations presented a learning curve for me. James’ guidance ensured that we met all the necessary requirements, allowing us to seamlessly integrate our Norwegian expertise into the new market.

The Patient Journey and Long-Term Business Vision

A compelling patient journey was at the heart of our business plan. Visualising the patient experience and formulating a solid long-term business vision were essential aspects for us. I had a clear picture of what I wanted to achieve and the importance of financing this vision strategically. Uv and James played crucial roles in turning this vision into reality, efficiently handling the practical aspects of fitting out our new dental practice.

Maximising Investment and Value for Money

With Uv and James by our side, we ensured every penny invested in our dental practice was maximised for optimal value. James provided valuable insights, guiding us on where to invest and where to be cost-effective without compromising the quality of our equipment.

Building a Solid Team for Long-Term Success

From the beginning, I recognised the significance of having a reliable and proficient team. This team included Uv at Divo Interiors and James at Hague Dental, who played instrumental roles in establishing our dental practice. Additionally, the expertise of my future father-in-law, a skilled accountant, and the business acumen of my fiancé, a management consultant, further bolstered our foundation for success.

The journey of establishing our dental practice in the UK has been one of growth, learning, and meaningful partnerships. With the unwavering support of Uv at Divo Interiors, the expertise of James at Hague Dental, and a dedicated team by my side, I am excited to embrace the future of our dental business in the UK.

As we look forward to expanding our practice chain, we are confident that our success will continue to be driven by the strength of our team and our commitment to delivering exceptional patient experiences.
