Practice Plan claims it can help practices to promote private patient schemes starting with Plan Implementation through to introductory letters to patients.

Practice Plan will help compose letters to existing private patients promoting the benefits of the plan. Alternatively, if an NHS conversion is planned, it can help design letters to NHS patients giving the required three months' notice that the practice is moving into the private sector.

The Practice Plan Practice Development Manager will visit the practice and deliver a two to three hour training session geared to the practice's specific requirements. It will cover the benefits of the new plan for both patients and practice, issues relating to conversion from the NHS and all administration procedures and paperwork.

The company can provide personalised practice brochures, dentist/patient agreements, practice posters, recruitment cards, newsletters and advice and support on specific marketing procedures. The literature is either specific to the practice or generic.
