The ITI Digital Dental Entrepreneurial Program is a seven-week online business course designed by dentists for dentists. An experienced team leads the course, sharing the knowledge and insights that helped grow The Campbell Clinic from a £250,000 business to a £5,000,000 business.
Colin has been a dentist for almost 30 years and has been involved with the ITI for 25 years and he’s been a business owner and director for 15 years.
Clinically, Colin has placed over 6000 dental implants and provided thousands of lectures to educate colleagues in implant dentistry and other clinical matters. He has also worked extensively as a medical-legal expert witness.
In the past 15 years, Colin has set up three separate dental businesses as start-ups, building one business to success and then selling and developing two further businesses, one as The Campbell Clinic, a clinical specialist dental practice and the second, The Campbell Academy, a clinical education business.
During this time, these businesses have grown over 20 times and Colin has lectured extensively on matters related to dental business, leadership and entrepreneurship.
Colin is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, a senior fellow of the ITI and a fellow of the College of General Dentistry (UK).
Colin lives with his wife and three children.
Hayley Brown is a qualified dental nurse who has worked side by side with Colin since she was a trainee in 2006 (17 years).
She moved to work at The Campbell Clinic in 2009 to become the senior dental implant nurse and quickly became the practice manager and ultimately the managing director/CEO of The Campbell Clinic Group.
Hayley now oversees the strategic direction of a business which turns over £5 million per year with 55 staff and is expected to double in the next five years.
Much of the success of The Campbell Clinic Group over the past 10 years has been due to the exceptional management and leadership of Hayley Brown.
Hayley's areas of expertise include human asset management (human resources), operational management and direction, and financial management and direction.
Hayley has completed level seven (masters) education in management and business.
She lives in Nottingham with her husband and two young children.
Tom graduated with his first degree in history from the University of East Anglia and moved to work in recruitment in London, the financial centre of London's financial markets.
After leaving this position, Tom agreed to take up a position with Colin in a start-up business to develop The Campbell Academy in 2015 from its early stages.
From that time, Tom has progressed to become the director of The Campbell Academy and the Education and Marketing Director of The Campbell Clinic Group and has secured a First-Class Honours in Digital Marketing with Nottingham Trent.
Tom is an expert in digital dental marketing having been responsible for leading a team of five people to provide all aspects of digital and non-digital marketing for The Campbell Clinic and Campbell Academy.
Tom has now lectured extensively to different dental professionals to assist them in their marketing strategies and works closely with some of The Campbell Clinic's commercial partners in helping them with their overall marketing strategies and implementation.
Tom lives in Nottingham with his partner and his dog.
Alex is a successful entrepreneur and business owner who first graduated as a science graduate from the University of Sheffield in England.
He went on to study dentistry and then to open several dental practices and build a group of two dental practices which he successfully sold to a DSO (dental service organisation) in 2022.
Alex is a hugely skilled clinician in surgery and restorative, has placed and restored thousands of dental implants, and is a particular expert in immediate full arch loading.
Alex gained tremendous experience in the setting up development and ultimate sale of the dental businesses he was part of and joined The Campbell Clinic team as clinical director in 2023.
Alex’s area of expertise is overall business development, operations, finances and strategic direction of businesses together with understanding the overall value of setting up a business and the value of the business moving forwards.

We have thoughtfully designed the course to offer you a high degree of flexibility, allowing you to work around your clinical commitments. This flexibility lets you choose suitable times to engage with the course materials and complete the required tasks. The course structure helps you manage your time effectively, ensuring you can complete most of the work at your convenience.
By accommodating clinical schedules and providing flexibility, the course allows you to successfully balance your professional responsibilities while actively participating in the program.

Module 1: Introduction
The first week and module of the course are an introduction that sets the tone for the whole course and outlines its logistics. You can access online learning platforms, including Slack and the Online Academy.
You will be assigned your first mini-project, and there will be a 45-minute live webinar with Colin, the other faculty members, and the rest of the cohort.
Module 2: Vision Setting
Module 2 sets up your business's future vision using Simon Sinek's 'Start with Why' model and delves deeper into developing a concrete strategy to achieve that vision. By understanding your business's core purpose and values, Module 2 enables you to articulate a compelling mission statement that resonates with your team members and target audience.
Module 3: Finance
During Module 3, you will complete the finance project and gain valuable insights into your business's financial intricacies. This finance project equips you with the tools and knowledge to make informed financial decisions that will contribute to your business's long-term success.
Module 4: Marketing
Module 4 introduces the Marketing project, based on tried-and-tested marketing tactics used at The Campbell Academy and The Campbell Clinic. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the key elements involved in developing successful marketing campaigns to enhance your brand visibility, attract new customers, and ultimately drive business growth.
Module 5: Sales
Following the Marketing module, you will delve into the Sales module, which aims to optimise the customer journey and minimise the loss of potential contacts who express interest in engaging for treatment. We have thoughtfully designed this module to equip you with the skills and strategies to effectively convert leads into loyal customers.
Module 6: HR
This module will introduce delegates to the HR Project, emphasising the implementation of structured HR practices and performance management systems and leveraging digital products for effective meetings and engagement. The project aims to equip you with the necessary tools and strategies to optimise human resources within your organisation.
Module 7: Leadership
During the Leadership module, you will use the Leadership project to illustrate the key concepts and principles of leading a modern dental practice. We designed this module to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in leadership roles within the dental industry. By actively participating in this Leadership project, you will enhance your leadership capabilities and acquire the tools to navigate the complexities of running a modern dental practice.Module 8: Strategy
The Strategy Project starts module 8 by showing how to plan strategically over a year (or three years) to see a business improve constantly. You will gain the skills and knowledge to create a robust strategic plan that drives constant improvement and sustainable growth.
Module 9: Business Plan
The final module involves integrating all the knowledge gained from the previous projects into a comprehensive business plan. This final project allows you to synthesise what you have learned and demonstrate your ability to create a well-rounded and actionable plan for your dental practice.
Module 10: Course Close and Live Webinar
The course is completed online on The Campbell Academy's Learning Management System and Slack channel. This provides an extremely flexible format for attendees, meaning they can complete the weekly learning content at a time that suits them.
To maximise the benefits of this course, you will need to understand that your commitment and active participation will directly impact what you gain from it. We often compare this course to joining a gym, where you make real progress through consistent attendance and effort. Just to let you know, simply enrolling in the course will not be enough; you will need to attend regularly and actively engage with the material throughout the seven weeks.
Throughout each week of the course, you can expect to dedicate approximately 90 minutes to recorded lectures. We designed these lectures to be flexible, allowing you to watch them conveniently. However, the actual value is in your commitment to completing the nine projects assigned over the course duration. These projects will require a minimum of two hours each to complete effectively.
The course costs £1,590 for ITI Members. For non-members, the price is £1,900.
If you are not an ITI Member yet, you can join the ITI to broaden your implant dentistry horizons and enjoy many professional benefits.
The first week of the course is very much introductory. It is all about familiarising yourself with the online platforms and meeting your fellow course delegates and faculty on Slack and on the live webinar.
Following the initial week, the course intensifies over the next five weeks, diving into in-depth learning content and engaging course projects. During this period, you will delve into the core material, acquiring valuable knowledge and skills in a dynamic and immersive environment.
As the course nears its conclusion, the final week offers a lighter pace, allowing you to catch up on any missed topics or assignments. This week is also an opportunity to refine and amend your projects, ensuring you grasp the course material comprehensively. The week culminates with an essential live webinar, where you can participate in the final course session and gain valuable insights.
