Why this course exists

Few dentists ever receive formal business training.

Running a practice means wearing many hats — clinician, manager, leader and strategist. Yet from the moment you step into ownership, you're running a complex, fast-moving business, often without a clear roadmap.

The Bootcamp is a five-day, hands-on programme created by dentists, for dentists — practical, real-world strategies for building a thriving, modern, independent practice, from finance and marketing to leadership, culture and growth.

What's included

Online onboarding one month before, plus five days onsite
Your own version of The Campbell Clinic financial dashboard
Templates, resources and SOPs used at The Campbell Clinic
Working dinners (Mon–Wed) for discussion and networking
An exceptional faculty led by Colin Campbell
50 hours of verifiable CPD

Who it's for

Wherever you are on the ownership journey

Preparing for your first practice

Start strong, with a clear plan and the right foundations in place before you acquire.

New practice owners

Navigate the early hurdles with practical advice and shortcuts from those who've done it.

Established owners seeking growth

Fresh ideas and better systems to reach the next stage — and overcome burnout.

The programme

Online onboarding, then five intensive days

An online introduction that sets the tone and logistics, access to the course Slack to meet fellow delegates and faculty, and Module 1 (Vision Setting) to lay the foundation before the onsite days.

Complete Vision Setting — using 'Start With Why' to build a compelling mission and strategy. Then begin Finance: key metrics, retrospective vs prospective analysis and forecasting, associate models and the financial levers that drive performance.

Finish Finance with hands-on creation of your own financial dashboard. Then Marketing: brand, word-of-mouth, digital essentials (website, SEO, reputation, email), paid and social, and how to control campaigns by budget, team, metrics and ROI.

Sales and CRM — pricing for profit, the consultation and the role of the treatment coordinator, follow-up and conversion metrics. Then HR & Leadership: leadership styles, the employee handbook, recruitment, appraisals and performance management.

Complete HR & Leadership, then Strategy: planning for continuous improvement using PEST, competitor and SWOT analysis — building toward the comprehensive business plan you'll present.

Refine and present your strategic plan — consolidating the week into a tangible, actionable blueprint ready to implement in your practice straight away.
