Supporting dental professionals

While we are all trying to return to a new ‘normal’ Dentists’ Provident has provided further support to members.

Dentists’ Provident has been supporting its members since the start of the pandemic by ensuring the business continued to function effectively, empathetically changing rules and providing a seamless service, all while keeping an eye on the difficulties faced by the profession.

When dental professionals were unable to work, Dentists’ Provident acted quickly allowing members to suspend their cover, helping to manage their monthly outgoings.

Since then, for members who maintained their cover during the lockdown, Dentists’ Provident has paid them an ex-gratia Coronavirus Assistance Benefit Payment based on one month’s regular membership premiums.

Giles Kidner Chairman said “It is at times like these that I am reminded more than ever, that ‘founded by dentists for dentists’ is not just a slogan and what it really means to be a member of a mutual society. Our focus now is to ensure that we adapt to the new challenges our profession faces and to continue supporting our members as we have always done. ”

If you are a member of Dentists' Provident and would like to get in contact please email memberservices@dentistsprovident.co.uk.
