Welcome back to The Business of Healthcare Podcast where this week I am talking to Alison Reid who is the CEO at Community Dental Services.
What I really liked about this interview is that I
don't share the interview questions with the guest in advance and
Alison was just in my opinion, so clear in articulating the values,
her culture compass, the focus for the next 18 months, her
leadership style and I just thought I aspire to be able to
communicate like that.
There are excellent practical tips in this episode too which I am
so grateful to be able to share with you all.
"I think that's probably the one thing that shocked me most working much more directly with the dental provider was that I'd often heard the team refer to extractions and it's only when you actually go to a general anaesthetic session where a three year old is coming in to have all of their baby teeth removed, because they have become too decayed to be retained that you realise we've still got a serious problem in this country with understanding how to protect our teeth for the whole of our lives". Alison Reid - CEO Community Dental Services
