Reviews

This much needed and timely book is an interesting, insightful, and important read for all dental professionals, with those in leadership positions a key target audience. ... the contents of the book are both thought-provoking and enlightening on how we as a profession can improve. This is an excellent resource for those in positions to implement change as well as individuals who want to increase their understanding of this topic and introduce changes in their own working practice. (Ailsa Woodley, British Dental Journal, Vol. 234 (3), February, 2023)
