Sustainability in Dentistry: Small Steps for a Greener Future

Sustainability is becoming a key consideration for dental practices across the UK. From waste reduction to energy efficiency, small changes can have a big impact. Temporary staffing might not seem directly linked to sustainability, but it can support your efforts in surprising ways.

  • Flexible Staffing Minimises Waste: Overstaffing can lead to unnecessary resource use, while understaffing creates inefficiencies. Temporary nurses help practices find the right balance, aligning staffing levels with demand and avoiding operational waste.

  • Supporting Transitions: Adopting greener practices, like switching to digital records or sustainable materials, can be time-intensive. Temporary staff allow your core team to focus on learning and implementing these changes while maintaining patient care standards.

  • Eco-Conscious Practices in Action: DNA supports practices by providing dental nurses familiar with sustainability basics, such as optimising waste disposal and using resources efficiently.

A Greener Future with DNA - While sustainability is a journey, small steps like thoughtful staffing, can make a difference. DNA is here to support practices in balancing environmental goals with day-to-day operations.
