Dentistry Standards

A question was posed by a member of the management, and over the weekend I have had time to give it a bit of thought.

Strange question though it may be, it was one that gets you thinking and brings all sorts of different problems to mind.

Is desperation for dentists causing us as a nation to get substandard treatments from practicising professionals not from the UK?

The thing is here, none of us really like going to the dentist. I won’t use the analogy “it’s like pulling teeth” but it is close. Most of us only really go when we absolutely have to, desperation in another sense pushing us to pick up the phone or walk to the dentist’s surgery. I hate going, but two years ago I had to, had a tooth fixed and three pulled (ouch). But afterwards I felt like it was seemingly nothing, no problems whatsoever. The anaesthetic numbed any pain (thank goodness!) and it was a doddle, in and out in a few hours altogether. It felt weird having the teeth pulled though, you could “feel” the roots coming out, hear it too, but there was no pain.

And yes, it was a foreign dentist, swedish I believe. Quite good care I must say, very professional.

Does it matter whether the dentist is “english” or say, “polish,” or “lithuanian”? Are their standards lower than our own? For that matter, are our standards higher than theirs? For all we know they may have excellent dentistry standards that put ours to shame (I feel most nations’ health services, at least in dentistry, put ours to shame).

The poll’s question is – are the dentists from other nations as good as “english” dentists?

20 Years Anniversary

GRS Sign Company Ltd would like to thank all its various customers over the years that have helped make GRS the company it is now. It has been 20 years since the company was founded, and has grown steadily over the years to what it is, and where it is, now.

Originally starting in GRS Electrical in Northgate, Louth, it then moved to the industrial estate. From there a purpose-built building was constructed in 2004, where we are now.

Growing over the years from a one-man operation to what it is now, nearly 20 employees, there have been momentous changes in the sign and label business. Computers back then for example, were about as powerful as a calculator is now. Design was not done on a computer in the sense that we know it now.

The materials have changed quite a bit although there are some that are still used in the traditional way they were back 20 years ago (engraving laminate, labels and so on).

Here’s to another 20 years making quality signs for loyal customers!

Competitive Pricing

To remain competitive in the business world you need to be on top of your game. Not just that though, you need to hit your target market in such a way that they look at you first for your product, and not a rival. To achieve this you need:

  • :to be able to give an efficient service
  • :to be competitively (not necessarily the lowest however) priced
  • :o ffer the best product
  • :to be able to sell your product

Simple rules to follow right? With prices rising rapidly though, that is a little bit difficult to attain and sustain.

One example is the price of postmix, recently driven upwards 40p per bag. Quite a lot really when you consider they were just over £3 a bag, so that’s a 10%+ rise in price. Should this be passed onto the customer as is or should a small amount be added to account for time, storage, use and so on?
