Paul Mendlesohn
Chief Executive
Paul Mendlesohn became Chief Executive of CODE in 2001 after Whitecross Dental Care, the dental practice chain he established was sold to Integrated Dental Holdings. Since 2001 CODE membership has quadrupled and Paul has introduced innovative management solutions for practice owners including the Management Modules and Clinical Governance Made Simple. Our members’ magazine Dentistry Opportunities continues to grow from strength to strength and provides members with new ways to develop their practices, bring new services to patients and stay abreast of the latest regulations.
CODEplan was launched in 2005 and offers tailor-made dental plans and patient finance at competitive rates, CODEplan practices benefit from the experience and support of the CODE team. Also launched in 2005 was the Association for Facial Aesthetics, a new branch to support dentists who are offering skin rejuvenation treatments such as Botox.
"As a practice owner myself, I understand the difficulties that we have staying abreast of regulations, managing our team and developing new services, whilst spending the majority of our time working with patients. That’s why our solutions are designed to lead dentists through the regulations and requirements in step by step way. It is much more important for a practice owner to focus on patients, our aim is to fully support the practice management team saving the principal time and money.
We also help practices to increase profitability and success through on-going personal and practice development. This is achieved through training, seminars and consultancy, the most popular topics include private practice development with CODEplan, clinical governance, facial aesthetics.
The change in funding of NHS dentistry brings us challenges but also new and exciting opportunities, this combined with the growth of awareness of health and beauty means that our patients have more sophisticated needs and expectations, with elective and cosmetic treatments becoming the norm. The CODE team will continue to lead the way in reacting to these changes giving our members the advice and guidance they need to enjoy success and fulfilment in their chosen career” .
