Individual practitioners

Health practitioners are highly qualified and meticulously trained in their respective disciplines. However, we dedicate our lives to clinical practice and often do not have the support to navigate non-clinical challenges that inevitably arise throughout our careers. This includes:

• Managing the first clinical role,
• Difficult colleague and/or patient interactions
• Ethical and moral dilemmas
• Patient complaints and AHPRA notification
• Health fund audits
• Leaving or joining practices
• Making the decision to become a practice owner
• Negotiating small business ownership
• Achieving balance in a long-term clinical career

The directors at Cura have years of experience guiding health professionals through diverse challenges. Their own experiences as clinicians, give them an insider’s perspective of your situation, concerns and motives to deliver fit-for-purpose recommendations.

Dental Practices

Dental practitioners are highly qualified and meticulously trained in their respective disciplines. We are dedicated to clinical excellence, but most of us lack formal training in business or management. As practice owners, we face administrative challenges without adequate knowledge, professional support and the benefit of experience. This hinders us from resolving issues, building a positive workplace culture and future planning with efficiency while maximising success. Cura aims to bring big business thinking into the dental sector to achieve commercial success and regulatory compliance. This includes:

• Business cases and feasibility studies for new and newly acquired dental practices
• Profitability assessment of existing practices and recommendations to improve service design
• Evaluation of the practice’s clinical culture and quality improvement processes
• Clinical governance reviews and consolidation
• Investigation of the patient journey
• Options analysis for major projects, investments, buy/sell decisions
