The Welsh NHS contract has changed.

While the reforms aim to improve fairness and access, both the public and dental professionals have raised concerns about potential unintended impacts on service quality and the sustainability of practices. Many patients and dentists emphasise the importance of preventative care, which is difficult to achieve with check-ups only every two years.

These changes don’t just affect your patients. They could mean increased clinical time for more complex cases, reduced practice goodwill value, and potential damage to patient trust and continuity of care.

The Path to Private Practice Review helps you explore the potential commercial viability of an NHS-to-private conversion.

Enter a few key details to receive a tailored PDF report estimating how many patients would need to join your private membership plan and how much additional private treatment income you’d need to generate to replace your current NHS income.

Your report provides a useful starting point, but it is a high-level indicator, rather than a full assessment of viability. The calculator does not account for all the financial, operational and commercial factors that could influence your conversion.

Once you’ve received your report, we recommend discussing the results with our NHS conversion specialists. They can review your report and explore your practice’s circumstances, goals and options in more detail.
