On this Podcast Recording I speak to Nicki Rowland and Matt Mckay
Nicki Rowland - Following 10 years of co-owning an award-winning dental practice, Nicki set up her own business, Practices Made Perfect (PMP), in 2014. PMP partners with Practice Principals and their teams to craft a coaching and training solution for their practice’s specific needs and challenges to ignite positive change and create sustainable growth. Nicki specialises in compliance and leadership consultancy and training.
In response to the current dental crisis and its impact on the state of children’s oral health, Nicki has launched an oral health campaign across the UK that gained charity status in April 2024 - The Magic Dentist (Reg. Charity No. 1207704). The main aim is to support primary school teachers to deliver oral health education, alleviate the increasingly high number of missed school days due to oral health problems and reduce admissions to hospital.
Nicki was also placed in Dentistry’s Top 50 most influential people list in March 2021.
Matt Mckay - Founder & CEO of Goald Challenges, the first-of-its-kind challenge App that harnesses the power of challenges and communities to enhance fundraising, advertising, community management and engagement opportunities.
