FAQs for Dentists

Can I sell a GDS Contract?

If you are an individual and have a GDS contract you can 'sell' your contract by use of the 'partnership route' under the GDS contract.
If you are a company and hold a GDS contract then matters may not be straightforward. Let us review your GDS contract and any variations to assess this.

Should I incorporate my practice?

Care needs to be taken regarding practice incorporation and where where you have a GDS contract in your individual name-talk to us first.

What should I consider when taking a Commercial Lease ?

Dental Practice leases should allow the easy sub-letting or sharing of the Practice Premises to allow for other healthcare professionals.

How can I protect against future changes when leasing?

Negotiate for your lease to allow structural alteration to future-proof for changes in legislation and regulation like HTM 01-05.

Are all locums and associates self-employed?

Not all locums and associates are self-employed! Whether they are is a question of fact. The more they look like an employee with regular hours and obligations then the more likely they are!

GDS Contracts and Death

Dentists with a GDS contract have a very limited time to deal with their contract with the NHS on the death of a dentist and very clear instructions can be prepared with your will to deal with this. Without this being organised properly your GDS contract may be lost and its potential value!!
