If you want to be inspired by the potential of a career in dentistry, no matter what your age or background, listen to the journey of one of the UK’s most interesting dental practice owners.

As a child, Manrina Rhode wanted to become an actress, but an enlightened Headmistress saw the opportunity of combining art and science and encouraged her to study dentistry. The UK dental community (and her patients) can be glad that she did.

Right at the start of her career, she secured a position with Dr. Surinder Hundle at Lund Osler, one of whose clinics was based in Harvey Nicholls, London - innovative in its time.

Surinder, famous as an original participant in the TV show "10 Years Younger" opened up opportunities that you can only dream of (learn how Manrina beat her competition to get this job).

After several years at Lund Osler, she worked for Tim Bradstock-Smith - The London Smile Clinic.

Along the way, she ran a Music Label in Atlanta, that is another story you need to hear.

In the last 2 years, she has finally opened her own clinic - DRMR - and you’ll hear why Chris was speechless with admiration when he first visited.

In this episode you will discover;

• What it takes to become a true success in dentistry

• The importance of finding your passion in dentistry and to do what you love to do

• The big lesson she learnt from her father. If you have children, the most important message you can give them, so that they are a success in their lives

• The importance of finding mentors and networking with the very best

• If you are running an Instagram page you need to do this ONE THING to make it work for you

AND SO MUCH MORE.

It’s a delight this month to listen to the founder of a Champions League dental practice in the beautiful Lake District - Neil Cooper has been a friend and a client of both of us for many years.

Here, we delve into Neil’s childhood fascination with how things work and an early dedication to a career in dentistry, based on his experiences as a child patient.

Following Neil to school, university, early days as a VT and associate, we then discover what happened when he caught the Ownership bug and used a unique approach to become co-purchaser of an antiquated practice on Kendal High Street.

It’s now a 7-surgery clinic with a brilliant team, providing the highest complexity of dentistry.

Throughout his career, Neil has always responded to the phrase “that will never work here”, with a determination to prove the critics wrong.

As you listen, you will also hear about Bex Cooper and the contribution she has made to the development of the business since the pandemic.
