In this week’s episode of Dentology, hosts Chris and Andy chat with Dr Neal Mehta, a dentist and the innovative founder of Locumloop, a recruitment app for locum dental nurses. Neal talks about his childhood, family background, influence of his father, who is also a dentist and reflects on how his father’s enjoyment of the profession inspired him to follow in his footsteps. Neal discusses the gaps he has observed in dental education today compared to when he was a student and highlights the new skills and knowledge that recent graduates possess which were not part of the curriculum during his time. Neal talks about becoming a partner in two dental practices, and explains more about his decision to enter partnerships rather than starting a solo practice. Finally, Neal discusses the inspiration behind Locumloop which was launched 18 months ago and its role in mitigating the ongoing recruitment issues within the dental nursing sector.
